| Description | Through this 3-year Bachelor of Theology and Mission (by September 2013), 2-year Master of Missiology (by February 2012), and 3-4-year Doctor of Missiology (by October 2014), we seek to train men and women, clergy and laity, who will be able to engage in both systematic and practical reflections on the way Christian mission is understood and practiced in the global context in general, and in our Francophone African context in particular. Students will also learn how to transfer their knowledge to the mission field (home and foreign global and holistic ministries). The training curriculum comprises courses selected from five missiological perspectives: (1) Biblical and theological perspective, (2) Historical perspective, (3) Cultural perspective, (4) Strategic perspective, and (5) Educational perspective. |

| Methods of instruction | We understand missiology as a scientific and an applied study based on the word of God and on other disciplines of social sciences in order to understand and to orient the global and holistic mission of the church in contexts. Mission action without mission reflection leads to a superficial mission practice. Mission reflection without mission action leads to a mere speculative mission theory. The Department of Missiology of International Leadership University is an inclusive place to fill the gap, an effort to correct the “superficial mission action??? which has characterized many African churches. It is also an effort to correct the “speculative mission reflection??? which has characterized some influential African seminaries. Courses, researches, reflections and exchanges are done in order to correct the paradigms of the superficial mission action and the speculative mission reflection. |
