Missions Seminar ( CHR 135 )

This 2 week seminar is offered in conjunction with the Ministry of Development Seminar (CHR 147). This seminar was created to motivate and mobilize people to work for the purpose of transforming the least-reached communities of the world, and to place workers in church planting, strategic coordinator or administrative roles. Another goal of this seminar is to assist participants in developing a clear focus and plan for getting involved in fulfilling the Great Commission and in seeing people groups and nations transformed. This seminar provides the opportunity for students to explore and discover biblical solutions to major social issues in urban centres, such as prostitution, gender identity issues, street children, crime, and various forms of abuse. Biblical principles for spiritual warfare and intercession, as well as training in spiritual mapping; equip the student for practical ministry. This is a two-week programme drawing from the concepts taught in the School of Strategic Missions (see CHR 235, Strategic emphasis). The biblical and strategic foundations for missions used throughout human history are key elements in the seminar. It examines issues of globalization and how to strategically reach the unreached, while also helping participants in planning their involvement in strategic mission endeavors.
