Upcoming Global Theological Education Events
The Global Theological Education Mission
Contemporary
Christians and their churches are engaging more and more in ministry to
persons beyond their cultural and religious worlds. Many of those
persons have moved to the United States and are part of
pluralistic society. Others are partners in ministries outside the United States. All are part of a common
humanity to whom God has come in Jesus Christ.
The Perkins Global Theological Education Program prepares
pastors-in-training to lead the congregations in culturally sensitive,
competent, and effective mission both within and outside the United States. The
program offers significant immersion experiences in cultures other than
those of the participants. Through these students gain first hand experience in
building intercultural relationships and learning from others with a different
life experience and outlook.
The GTE Program also makes teachers, facilitators, and
other resources available to lay leaders of short term mission. Using these
resources short term mission teams compliment their practical preparations with
reflection on the theology and spirituality of mission, toward the goal of more
fruitful partnerships and personal growth.
