P.A.T.H. Worldview & Animism module

We have just completed the first module of our P.A.T.H. training. We've spent the past three days looking at Animism, Syncretism and Worldview in Intercultural and cross-cultural context. These sessions were brought to us by John Cosby, whom you have met in one of the vLogs (video blogs). We have all very much enjoyed all of the teaching that we have received in these sessions. I am very sorry that they have come to an end. We had a lot of great conversation and interaction in the classroom and discussed some very practical and important issues faced by missions and the church. We unfortunately were short on time and had only the opportunity for a brief look into Animism, John will be returning again prior to the end of the training, so we'll have opportunity to learn under his teaching again.

There is a lot of discussion about Worldview these days, determining just what that means is a key to the task. The principles, that we have been studying here are biblical, sound methodologies with a focus on missions. However, the ideas and principles behind Worldview Teaching (and understanding) are pertinent and applicable to everyday life and evangelism on a personal level.

It's a great start to training, the bar has been set high to be sure. We're both looking forward to whatever comes next.
