It doesn't matter whether you evangelize in West Africa or Kansas City, Missouri, the message of the good news of Christ is the same. However, it must be relevant to the people listening to the message. F. Douglas Powe explained in his book that “many African American churches are drying up because congregations perpetuate an old wineskin mentality.” This old wineskin mentality refers to doing things the way they were done years ago and not contextualizing changes in culture and society. It is important to remember that no one is asking or suggesting that the good news of Christ be altered; it just needs to be made relevant. This is true in all churches, not just African American ones. When cultural changes are ignored, “a congregation is at risk not only of decline, but also of death.” Congregations simply cannot jump from one program to another in hopes of meeting community needs. As stated before, people who share the good news of Christ, or who evangelize, must show people what is current. Cultures will certainly change, but that will not change the gospel. It simply changes the way we have to present ourselves
