Every other year, Profs. Kim Budd and Dave Sanders teach Intercultural Ministry Studies I & II. This pair of courses is designed to prepare students to effectively lead short-term ministry teams by developing a strong theology of sustainability in missions service connections in intercultural settings as well as the practical skills needed to plan, conduct and lead such an experience. The course also involves one week (usually over spring break) where the students have an opportunity to put into practice what they're learning. Past classes have gone to Costa Rica, India, & Los Angeles.
In March 2009, the class will be heading to Haiti to work with an orphan-focused ministry called The Apparent Project. We are attempting to establish a long-term, sustainable connection that involves our efforts beyond the classroom, beyond a period of one week, and beyond simply our own personal involvement. As always, we are excited and terrified as to what God may do through our availability and willingness.
