Description |
The major in Intercultural Studies is especially designed to prepare students to serve as missionaries to people of other cultures. As a part of this process, students are introduced to the concepts of culture in general, and taught how the Gospel may be spread in various cross-cultural settings. To ensure that this preparation equips the student in his particular area of ministry and calling, a minor can be obtained from any of the other disciplines. |
