1. ONLINE TRAINING COURSE AROUND TFW’s
I and a colleague Lance Ford, have developed an online training course using a ‘learning cafe’ as well as a discussion board environment. It is a great resource for cultivating apostolic imagination and practice in Western contexts.
You can now do this course for credit at Biblical Seminary. Here is a course description. Course Description Bib Sem
As to format and educational philosophy of course we have decided to…
- standardize it to a more intensive 8 week format (instead of the extended 16 or 32 weeks)
- focus our online cafe (audio-visual learning environment) on application and praxis instead of more theory and chew on the theory on the bulletin boards and posts that are the integral part of the process
- host smaller groups to encourage more interactive learning and comradeship (from 5-8 per cohort)
- each cohort will be made up of more peer based participants (instead of heaving everyone into the same room) allowing for particular interests to be highlighted. E.g. denominational/translocal leaders, pioneering church planters, incarnational missionaries, senior ministers, etc. will be grouped together as much as possible.
- make it less “lecture‚” style and much more interactive around interpreting the material itself. Less of me and more of you.
- group it as part of the fantastic Missio MCAP program
- deliver the above for a much more modest US$350.
- we will host it on the shapevine online campus which uses cutting edge technology to deliver ideas that change the world.
- we are close to getting accreditation from a number of seminaries in the US
What more can I say!! New groups start beginning of September, so get hold of Lance Ford to register on (lncford@yahoo.com) lncford (at) yahoo (dot) com or call him on 940-300-2495 (this is a US number).
