ME2-1: Missional Theology
Grasping the Missionary Heart of God
Grasping the missionary heart of God comes by reflecting on His mission as seen in the scriptures – both the old and the new testaments. This missional theology workshop will focus on understanding how God sends people as His ambassadors to reach diverse people groups by using social relationships, how Christ taught His disciples to follow Him, and to win and train others to serve Him, and how early believers developed missionary strategies and customized approaches to penetrate and reach people groups.
