Missions and Intercultural Studies for Talbot
Objectives
Christian leaders today, whether working in their own country or in another country, are usually working in cross-cultural contexts. Leaders must be prepared with ministerial skills that will enable them in penetrating and leading effectively in the midst of ethnic complexity and multiculturalism. Christian leaders must be able to exegete the scriptures and exegete the social context in which they work.

This program is designed to provide training based on sound biblical and missiological principles that have been proven valuable in missions, pastoral leadership, cross-cultural ministry and human service.
