Summary/Abstract: Universalizing the Christian Message Through the Missionary Work of the Church. Sending the Church into the world to fulfill the work of Christianization, evangelization and re-evangelization at a universal level constitutes a missionary process that involves the encounter between the Gospel and culture or cultures, taking into account all the aspects that arise from this cohesion, such as, for example, knowledge of Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition, training of missionary personnel, thorough knowledge of the culture that is the object of the revelation of Christian truths, learning the language, traditions, customs and all the social, economic and religious characteristics that project and define the culture in question. Specifically, the universalization of the Christian message by sending the Church into the world means the presentation of God to man and expresses the consequences and benefits that are achieved from this relationship, revelation and sharing.
