CHR 235 – School of Strategic Missions
Starts August 1st, 2022 | Prerequisite: DSP 211 & 212 – Credits: 12
Do you dream of serving people in other cultures and sharing His love? Do you want to prepare yourself better and know how to adapt to these other cultures and learn new languages? Want to know how to share God’s love, how to disciple, and how to raise up local leaders? And yet how to grow in relationships in multicultural teams? Do you want to learn how to have ministerial partners in a back-up team for your cross-cultural life? And how to have a healthy life in the countryside?
SSM – School of Strategic Missions – focuses on the training and individual development of students, as well as on the formation of cross-cultural pioneer teams (both front and rear) that will be involved in reaching people who want to know more about Jesus, especially Muslims seeking to know more about Isa Al Masih. With strategies that include short-term and long-term initiatives; encouraging the planting of churches led by local people; creation of missionary structures and training institutions; formation of an effective Brazilian rearguard through support networks and partnerships between mission agencies, local churches and professionals involved in all spheres of influence in society.
All this with the aim of awakening in the student and churches represented the desire and importance of their participation in serving and blessing the families of the earth.
Come and learn more and participate in what God is doing among the children of Ishmael and also in other cultures and peoples.
If you feel that God has invited you to participate, contact us!
This course makes part of the College of Christian Ministries at the University of the Nations
The College of Christian Ministries recognizes and responds to the great need to equip Christian leaders for service in the Kingdom of God, whether that be through specific mission and church roles or in the broader community. Courses in evangelism, missions (frontier, urban and specific ethnic or religious groups) church planting, biblical studies, leadership, worship and intercession, and youth ministries incorporate personal character development along with specific training and focused prayer towards the goal of obeying Christ’s command to “go and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matt. 28:19-20)
Whether participating in a School of Missions, or joining in a leadership seminar, students learn, work, and worship together, with the goal of “seeking first the Kingdom of God” in the context of the broader mission of the University of the Nations: to know God, and to make Him known.
Graduates of these training programs (both those who work towards a degree and those who take one or two specialized training programs) have gone on to start new ministries, plant churches cross-culturally, train new believers, teach the Bible, set up youth ministry outreaches, and much more. Programs are individually planned with the student’s calling and desired learning goals in mind.
