03 3d: Evangelize Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Tribals, using indigenous forms of communication

Investigate these major cultures and pray for guidance.

If you decide to focus on a people group within one of them, learn about that specific subculture.
Use their own indigenous music and other art forms.
Investigate methods, if possible, that are currently effective for planting indigenous, reproductive churches within the specific culture.

Find in Matthew 28:19 a reason why we are to evangelize all peoples.

Music and Musical Instruments in the World of Islam (3 CD set & book by Jean Jenkins, from Multicultural Media, mcm@multiculturalmedia.com: $15.99 for each CD and the book comes free).

Find and read ethnographies prepared by anthropologists on the people group of interest.

Especially learn about folk Islam, popular Hinduism, local Buddhism, pagan 'Christianism,' and covert animism.
Probably all popular religions are deeply animistic, seeking esoteric knowledge and spiritual experience through ceremonies and mystical experiences.
It is also more important to discover each people group's own explanations of their world than to find analyses prepared by western psychoanalysts.
When your scouts visit the people group, try to understand their mental culture; go deeper than merely collecting their quaint customs or shocking habits.
