This is a course in the methodology of missions. It will cover all kinds of issues. Sometimes I've even told students that it is subtitled "Coffee Break on the Mission Field" since we will talk about many of the things that missionaries talk about when they get together:
- Use of radio in evangelism
- Missionary and national church relationships
- Leadership training models
- Starting in brand new countries
- Church planting
- Bible translation
- Educating their kids
- Effective management of resources in Christian missions

| Writing Standards | Most courses at SNU contain a writing component. I expect students to produce written work that is focused, well developed, organized and relatively free of grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. Papers falling short of this standard will not be graded. That work will be returned to the students for further revision and resubmission. See my writing checklist. |
