Church planters in Latin America tend to be crusade evangelists, who call unbelievers from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to the kingdom of God thus confronting the spiritistic practices of popular religion. Trained nurturers are then left behind after the campaign to organize the new converts into a Christian community. The founding crusader, however, maintains close contact with the new developing churches by working with local leaders to develop the spiritual and physical resources for the growing movement. Egalitarian leadership is one of the great deterrents of church development of many fellowships in Latin America. These cognitive approaches greatly impact how people from different cultures approach and worship God.
Rationalists seek to know, understand, and differentiate.
The Christian worldview is systematically presented in propositional categories. Concrete relationalists emphasize respect, responsibility, and community. Intuitionalists solicit oneness, unity, and harmony. All three of these are operative in all cultures but are emphasized in varying degrees. Transplanted churches, both consciously and unconsciously, superimpose their cognitive approach upon other cultures.
