This was something that was taught at a mission conference by David Mareno which I thought was good. He was talking about breaking the linguistic barrier. How often have you gone to a country and unable to speak the language of the people but want to minister Christ to them. Here is how you are able to do this.
1) Worship - Even though they may not understand the words you are saying they will be blessed by your worship because you release the Spirit of God to move in that place.
2) Actions - We have heard it said many times that actions speak louder than words. This is true in a situation when you can not communicate effectively the word of God because of the language barrier. along with this is lifestyle. Your lifestyle will speak volumes.
3) Identification - When people sense that you identify with them, they will open their hearts and lives to you.
4) Love - The most powerful language that crosses all cultural and linguistic barriers in the language of love that is expressed through word, touch and action.
It has been said, preach, preach, preach, and speak when you have to.
