Prerequisite for the international studies minor: acceptance into a Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) study-abroad program.
Some classes in this minor include:
- International Business
- Intercultural Communication
- History of U.S. Foreign Relations
- World Religions
- International Relations since World War II
The ministry group we continue to work with is animistic [the religious belief that objects, places and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence], with a complex system of spirits whom they fear. We were reminded over and over again that spiritual warfare is real, and that prayer is truly essential to all efforts to share Christ no matter where we are. We also realized that God’s love is often shared via small loving encounters with individuals and the group. In miraculous ways they were able to see and feel God’s love shining through us as Jesus followers. Each one of us have had similar good news encounter opportunities in our lives.
