| Methods of instruction | What makes us stand out? Homestay Programs. Live with a local family in a traditional Nepali village. A Culturally Effective Approach. Learn ways to share the Gospel in a culturally effective way, both theoretically and practically. Disciple Making Movements. Plant fellowships of believers that are able to multiply by themselves. Lecture Phase: For four weeks you will stay at a hostel to learn about intercession and how to appropriately act within the culture, and then you will live eight weeks with a local family in a traditional village. At the same time, you will learn the tools on how to effectively reach locals with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We emphasize teaching you how to share the gospel in culturally impactful ways, as well as teach you how to start disciple making movements and churches that are able to multiply by themselves. Field Trip: We will travel to Delhi and Varanasi to visit people who are practicing both Disciple Making Movements and culturally effective ministry in their daily life. We take everything we learned in lecture phase and meet people who are taking up the cross and living out missions in their setting and culture. Outreach Phase: In outreach phase you continue living with a host family while living out what you have learned during the lecture phase with proper guidance and follow up from the school staff. Hopefully you and your team will also get the opportunity to plant a house church! |
