CHST-2346 Intro to Global Marketplace
An exploration of the marketplace as an emerging platform for effective cross-cultural witness. The course will include an overview of the biblical basis for marketplace missions, the viability of sending platforms, the international job market (how to find a job), how to live and work in sensitive areas, personal and family issues, spiritual challenges, hospitality and evangelism, how to be part of a church-planting team, and other topics that marketplace professionals need to know before arriving on the field. The course will guide students to think missiologically in the context of their majors and explore how God can use their marketable skills in his mission to disciple the nations. This course will also be valuable is helping those who are already in the marketplace assess and respond to the missionary call of God in their own lives. (Practical)
