Daniel Kikawa, B.S., Ph.M., Ph.D. (Intercultural Studies), an ordained minister with Grace Bible International and a board member of the International Reconciliation Coalition, has been researching cross-cultural issues for over 20 years. Daniel has taught numerous missionaries at missionary schools, Bible colleges, churches, seminars and conferences on every continent. His materials are being used in missionary schools and Bible colleges all over the world. London Bible College, the largest Bible seminary in Europe is using material from the Cross-Cultural Evangelism Game in their missiology classes. Fuller Theological Seminary is also using portions of the book in their class ME500: Serving and Communicating Cross-Culturally. Ed Silvoso called his book, Perpetuated in Righteousness, “One of the best books I have every read.” Because of Aloha Ke Akua’s worldwide advisory resources, all Daniel’s projects have had the advice, ideas, suggestions, scrutiny and corrections of some of the most respected leaders in the field of missiology.

Emailed Testimonies From Students:

A missionary student’s e-mail to her instructor:
 
I thought Daniel Kikawa did a fantastic job. He has a real gift for demonstrating the need for presenting the gospel in the culture of the people. His games and stories really bring the message home. In a way, I think it would be great if he could speak in cdts and dts every quarter. This message is so key. As westerners particularly, when we go on outreach we can be so results-oriented, wanting to see lots of fruit, so we don't always take the time needed to even learn the culture.

Email from IMPACT Center - University of the Nations:

Dear Daniel Kikawa,

It's already been a week since your teaching, but I am still dwelling on lots of your points. Your sure stuffed lots of brilliant concepts and stories into a short time! And I wish I had recorded the comments afterward. Actually, many were more heavy sighs and AH HA's than words.

I have had fun talking to my Japanese friend about your video too, she really learned a lot on Thursday AM.

I do not know when our next class will occur, but I will recommend you for more than one class for sure. I have also told many school leaders about you and hope that you will be welcomed more and more in months to come.

Aloha, Libby
