Praxis

I'm hoping the others on this adventure confirm pretty quick - I'm antsy to find out more of the details and the next steps and who all is going on this.

Here's more info on the whole program. Praxis is a Global Discipleship Scholarship. The course is a Mission Practicum Directed Study, so this trip is actually a class that I get credit for towards my Masters. The purpose stated is that the mission practicum experience will:
- expose participants to models of Integral Mission (which I will look at more on another day,
- engage in focused discussion, reflection and study on the Biblical foundation of and vision for Integral Mission,
- encounter Integral Mission communities locally and globally, and
- encourage a wider discussion on Integral Mission with home institutions of theological education and ministry contexts.

An excerpt from my acceptance letter:
"This year, Praxis will be based out of Nairobi, Kenya with a focus on Integral Mission. The main case study will be the work of the ABC (African Brotherhood Church) which is committed to evangelism and community development. The (ACC&S) African Christian Church and Schools is an emerging example of integral ministry. Time will also be spent in northern Kenya examining pre-evangelistic ministries where the challenges to integral mission are very difficult."
