Cross-Cultural Encounter

This course involves a three-stage process. First, the “encounter” of diverse cultures, social classes, and models of Christian ministries in Los Angeles and Fresno. Second, the “exchange” of ideas, stereotypes, and perceptions. Third, the “embrace” of cultures and ministries. The course is an intensive experience, combining site visits, community living, interviews, de-briefing, group discussion, reading, and journaling. It provides a rich context for self-examination and ministry preparation. Special Fees Apply.
