Global Christianity (Missions)

CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES WITH A CONCENTRATION IN GLOBAL CHRISTIANITY
Students studying in the field of Global Christianity will investigate the ministries of God's kingdom around the world with a goal towards understanding where we in the Western world “fit.”  Students examine the biblical foundations of Christianity’s missionary expansion, evaluate the people and movements that have accelerated (and hampered) the spread of the Gospel, and research the greatest issues facing the Global Church.  Students also study to understand multiple cultures and worldviews through researching other world religions as well direct involvement in cross-cultural learning and ministry. Dr. Paul Borthwick provides leadership for the Global Christianity courses and practicum placements. Visit www.borthwicks.org for a complete view of Paul's global ministry endeavors.
