Effective communication with the African society in the field of missions,
church planting, and social development work has been and continues to be
a great challenge, particularly to people from western cultural and language
orientation. Africans are a “we” rather than “I” and a “depended on” rather
than “independent of” society. The worldview of a traditional African in terms
of society, relationships, and communication is communal. Certainly, the
African perception of communalism affects how they communicate with the
people of different cultural orientation.
Africa has several cultures and people differ in their communication
depending on their cultural orientation. However, there are universal African
cultures that act as a framework for understanding key aspects of communi-
cation with Africans for successful missions, church planting, and social
development work. This book, therefore, provides a strategy of understanding
communication with the African society.
The discussions in this book provide readers with different cultural orien-
tations, unique perception of the African society as s/he may be planning to
communicate with the African society for missions, church planting, and
social development work, even doing humanitarian ministry in African society.
Although literacy levels have improved tremendously in most African coun-
tries, most of Africa is not a reading society. It is imperative to understand that
most Africans still communicate orally and are not time conscious. Hence,
effective communication in African societies ought to be based on storytelling
rather than literature distribution, although this is in transition. In fact, Africans
are oratory and good listeners. Thus, this book provides an understanding to
people of different cultural orientations when they plan to communicate with
the people in Africa.
