Resources for your Head
Thursday, August 27th, 2009
Most of the resources I am on the lookout for and share with leaders are primarily practical. Here are two resources that are primarily academic, but certainly have practical implications. These are both seminary-level courses on missions and it’s pretty phenomenal in that they’re free. Both of these professors are sharp missiologists and respected missions professors in Reformed circles. So take advantage of these and think through ways you can use them in your church to extend your congregations’s passion and vision for missions. Or maybe you’ve got someone considering a life in missions, or you know of national partners who are hungry for education…many possibilities to use these.
God’s World Mission – Dr. Nelson Jennings – Covenant Theological Seminary – a free, 17-lesson seminary course which offers a biblical, theological, and historical consideration of God’s redemption of His world.
Dr. Sam Larson – Reformed Theological Seminary (requires iTunes) – a free, 36-lesson seminary course which examines the history of missions.
