| Name of Programme / Training Resource | Building Faith Communities (MATUL) |
| Type of Training | Individual standalone programme |
| Reference Number | TUL530 |
| Description | This course applies a story-telling approach to the process of entering poor communities and developing holistic poor peoples' churches in ways faithful to the values and goals of the Kingdom of God. Entrance, proclamation, and discipleship are considered in relation to the processes of small-group formation and leadership development. This involves student participation in a mentored church planting team across the first or second semester of the degree. A core assumption of the MATUL program is of the primary and long-term instrumentality of Christian communities of faith, love and hope among the urban poor in seeking sustainable transformation. This course focuses on the multiplication of movements of such congregations as the catalyst and Kingdom foretaste of the social, economic and spiritual realities that over time are to be extended to the larger slum communities, city and nation. |
