Strategic Issue Multi-cultural 1
  • FACTS
  • What is the full truth as to whats going on?
  • __________________
  • Many officers dont see minorities as equal or
    more qualified that themselves (professionals
    with higher education or experience) so
    everything is one mindset locally and at DHQ
    THQ
  • Territorial leadership does not reflect cultural
    demographics of country or TSA
  • Racial prejudice is still present in TSA
  • Define what were going to celebrate unity,
    diversity or both?
  • The hierarchical, top-down system that now play
    out in the racial, cultural, social stratus.
  • Development of leaders is necessary both soldiers
    officers in areas of strength multi-cultural.
  • We are challenged with being honest about where
    we are and holding unacceptable behavior
    accountable.
  • Find ways to legitimize cultures within TSA
  • Not enough attention given to transition
  • Build up local leadership so that officer
    transitions are less shocking or a step backward
    in multiculturalism
  • Multicultural department! Tap into this resource.
  • Tap into existing relationships/resources
  • VISION
  • What do we see could be?
  • ________________
  • Our (TSA) diversity would be a true reflection of
    our heavenly hope.
  • Create a culture of love and acceptance, respect,
    sensitivity
  • TSA would reflect/impact the community in which
    it exists
  • Developing soldiers to embrace different race in
    leadership also within the congregation.

Strategic Issue Multi-cultural 3
  • FACTS
  • What is the full truth as to whats going on?
  • __________________
  • Language barriers
  • FEAR IGN
  • Non-English speaking candidates do not have a
    valid option for training college in this
    territory
  • Style of worship communication information
    gathering models do not reflect culture of ethnic
    communities served.
  • Leaders must be willing/able to empty
    themselves, listen, learn, become what is
    uniquely needed in each setting.
  • Leaders that can connect effectively with
    culturally diverse communities at the corps
    level, also divisional, territorial.
  • We dont have enough leaders that are competent
    culturally.
  • Low morale among certain ethnic groups
  • Imbalance in resources allocated for specifically
    Hispanic ministries/gatherings
  • Ethnically diverse soldiers not feeling welcome
    when attending other corps.
  • SMT on divisional level rather than territorial
  • Education people provide resources for all
    types of ethnic groups and different ministries.
  • Equality within the body is not a reality
  • Missionary mentality training
  • Give opportunities for cross-cultural learning.
  • The leading of the Holy Spirit focus on what
    unifies us
  • VISION
  • What do we see could be?
  • ________________
  • Effective culturally sensitive missional
    minded leaders.
  • Diversity in leadership at every level.
  • Give equal value resources space
    appointments to every ethnic group inclusion as
    a given equal footing
  • Volunteer project habitat, other
    big-longstanding project to give opportunity to
    work together.
  • Higher Biblical Education of leaders/people that
    may not be able to afford it.
  • Open dialogue between groups within groups
    i.e. in youth councils.
  • Laundromat or house church Bible study
  • Time of repentance sharing, breaking down
    barriers.
  • Larger-scale-celebrations i.e. at congress
    included all different cultures of the territory
  • Results would trickle up down to all levels of
    TSA- education, mult. Dept., find models that
    work (non-army) or army translate them into
    setting

VISION SOLUTIONS Multi-cultural 1
Actions Corps Can Take
Actions Divisions Can Take

Promote multi-cultural ministries at the training
college and officer's councils. There are
top-down evaluation. Lets do bottom-up
evaluations. (soldiers ? officers Officer ? DHQ
staff DHQ ? THQ, etc)
Actions THQ Can Take
Actions We Each Can Take

BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE NEED GODS HELP TO ADDRESS
BREAKTHROUGHS
3.
A de-briefing (face-to-face?) between moving
officers if desired
Intentionally, openly confront racial
prejudice and keep accountability. (make it
public?) Seeking, practicing a biblical model.

Mandatory, regular multi-cultural officer
training or self evaluations. (like SACEP or
at officers councils)
1. Racial prejudice would be eliminated in
officers, soldiers, employees of TSA.
OUR VISION
WELL KNOW WE ARE GAINING GROUND WHEN
The leadership on a Divisional and Territorial
level must be made to reflect diversity.
Giving minorities the same opportunities to
excel and attain leadership positions in DHQ and
THQ.
TSA will put resources/finances into
multi-cultural development training similar
to safe from harm etc

3. Leadership exchange ? integrate human
resources focusing in each corps needs. Can be
active, retired, or lay people
we have to know how to delegate to others
We have opportunity to reach people from other
cultures, but we dont have a strategy.
2. Provide avenues for people to acquire (ESL,
SSL, etc) new language competencies, to better
advance the mission
1.5 or second generation, bilingual youth are
bridge builders.
the culture of the kingdom of God values and
affirms diversity.
1. Personnel are plugged in for a specific need
for a limited period of the adequate to produce
the desired result.

VISION SOLUTIONS Multi-Cultural Master
Actions Corps Can Take
Actions Divisions Can Take
DHQ has intentional conversation/discussion with
each corps (as part of C.A.C.) about reflecting
the community around them. Train officers and
leaders to be culturally sensitive and
effective Promote and exchange of preachers,
choirs, praise band, etc. to build cultural
competency Provide support, encouragement and
guidance in multicultural ministry as a priority
See next page.
Love, love, love Make myself available for others
to learn from my culture and be willing to learn
from others. Deliberately connect with people of
different backgrounds. Return with a positive,
accepting attitude to corps programs that are
designed to enhance multi-cultural development
Actions We Each Can Take
Actions THQ Can Take
See next page

We desire to see an Army
BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE NEED GODS HELP TO ADDRESS
BREAKTHROUGHS
  • Who values and embraces people of diversity in
    our communities with understanding and holy
    passion, leading to unity in Christ

lack of leaders who speak the language of the
community
Provide cultural awareness assessments for
soldiers and officers
there is a lack of understanding of other
cultures among leaders soliders
emphasize unity in Christ and kingdom
culture de-emphasize silos
  • Where the faces in our pews reflect the faces in
    our communities.
  • With diverse leaders at all levels from local
    officer to THQ

use short-term educational/leadership exchange
internships to build cultural competence
we should not rely only in social services to
reach people. add relationship evangelism
OUR VISION
build relationships by working and serving
together (give and take, open dialogue between
the old the new)
WELL KNOW WE ARE GAINING GROUND WHEN
lack of love, holiness, desire/willingness
the corps look more like their communities
  • become holy, loving, willing, trusting,
  • understanding, unified, competent, family
  • We see more international cultural exchanges
  • We see equality of leadership, resources
    opportunities
