Strategic Partnerships Across Cultures

The Great Commission to "disciple the nations" is too important not to fulfill; too big for the Christians of any one nation to fulfill. In this interactive course you will uncover and grapple with various issues that either enhance or undermine a healthy partnership. The topics of scriptural foundations, money, mission, core cultural concepts, relationships, accountability in various cultures, teaching and training, interdependency, mutuality, and synergy will be investigated. The various stages of an intercultural partnership will be examined.
