History of Missions & Current Global Missions (Online) – Evening Course
History of Missions & Current Global Missions (Online)
IS511, 3 Credits
Thursdays, 7.00 pm – 9.15 pm
The great commission has played an important role in the life of the church. Over the last two millennia, millions of men and women have faithfully shared the gospel and sought to make disciples throughout the world. In this course we will seek to trace the historical progress of the gospel from the first century to the present. The goal of the course is to grow in our faith by seeing how God has been at work throughout history and to challenge one another to continue to live lives of faithfulness to God’s mission.
Matthew Winslow, PhD Studies, joined Cru in 2002 and has served in Eastern Asia, Singapore and the U.S. He has taught church history and theology classes in Singapore, America, East Asia and the South Pacific. He loves talking with others about history and theology and telling stories of how God has been at work throughout history. Matthew is married to Sze Chieh, and they have three children and a dog.
Registration deadline: Friday, 5 July 2024.
Alumnus Jacob An: Global Aid Network Korea Director
EAST Alumnus Jacob An JangRyoel, currently director of Global Aid Network (GAiN) Korea, graduated from EAST with a Master of Divinity in Teaching and Exposition in May 1998. He recently visited EAST Campus at 118 Joo Chiat Road and EAST News had an opportunity to catch up with him. He had many wonderful memories of the old campus at 1 Dorset Road and he shared a few anecdotes, “In those days, the library staff would assign the library key to a student to open and close up the library in the mornings and evenings. I became the key man. I used to be the first to arrive at the library to open the door, and the last to leave who shut it up. I learned and practiced about sincerity, hard work, and responsibility during that time.”
