Convincing people of Christianity outside the Western cultural sphere.

Let's assume that you are evangelizing in a more affluent, suburban / rural area in Taiwan, who are generally very well educated but haven't heard of Christianity.

What would you tell them to convince them that Christianity is True? That Christ was truly God?

1 Cor 2:4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

but haven't heard of Christianity.

Start with where they are, as most people who aren't lost in the jungle have heard something of Christianity, even if its just christmas.

One needs to understand what they believe and use that as a link into what Christianity teaches.

Out of the whole population of Taiwan, 81.3% are religious. Only 4% are Christian, and I know that some haven't heard of Christianity. My roommate last year was from Taiwan and he never heard of Christianity until he came to the U.S.

And this doesn't even include those indigenous populations who are isolated from the rest of the world in Africa, etc.

I can't say anything to convince them Christianity is true. The Holy Spirit is the one who convicts and converts, not me. My responsibility is to proclaim the gospel and make disciples.

But the gospel does not change, whether in Taiwan, Thailand, Somalia, New Zealand, or Iowa or anywhere else. Jesus came to make dead men live and call people to repent and believe in Him. Mankind's wealth has no meaning to God.

Regardless of whether they have or have not heard of Christianity. One would still start with what they believe.
