Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development, and human physical wellbeing in societies around the world. Living in a global community and confronting people of diverse backgrounds, Christian educators are no longer allowed to deal with a distinct race and/or culture. In and out of churches, we often find ourselves communicating with many cultures. Therefore, an effort to promote cultural awareness among congregation deserves proper attention in the field of Christian education in order to prepare the present and future generations for life in this global community. For this very reason, the writer has attempted to deliver the importance of cultural awarenessfrom a Christian education perspective by doing a research on three things: first, the rationale of the topic in educational ministry; second, the findings from previous studies on this topic and third, the direction of the future studies and practices in Christian educational field. The underlying intention of this paper is to show how urgent the task of promoting cultural awareness is within the faith community around the global world.
