Teacher: Amber Cook

This course is an introduction to Global and Intercultural Ministry. Our world has become a “global village,” and it is vital that Christian leaders demonstrate an awareness of and sensitivity to diverse cultures worldwide and in North America. Consequently, this course will explore both the challenge of understanding and of appreciating other cultures; and with the intention toward communicating the gospel more effectively—regardless of one’s geographical location. This course will integrate missiological concepts and principles with personal application and insights for ministry. Through the teaching and learning experiences of this course, the student will be exposed to and hopefully acquire basic tools (i.e., attitudes, knowledge, and skills) for effective intercultural relationships and Christian ministry.
