What Is D-Course?
Why Is D-Course Valuable?
To achieve its mission, D-Course utilizes a combination of community living, classroom and online sessions, interaction with veteran coaches and mentors, and cross-cultural implementation of ministry skills.
D-Course is good stewardship of people and resources, as it trains you to be fruitful and faithful in ministry here before your churches and agencies send you to do it over there (even if there is just around the corner). D-Course integrates the head (formal, classroom, theory), the heart (informal, community, spiritual), and the hands (non-formal, on-the-job, practical) in the training. We strive together so that each trainee can master the knowledge, skills, attitudes and character sets essential for making and multiplying disciples and churches among the unreached.
A typical day of D-Course includes: • 1 hour of corporate prayer • 3 hours of classroom, online videos, completing assignments • 3 - 4 hours of ministry implementation • 1 – 2 hours of preparation D-Course covers topics including Old & New Testament survey, intercessory prayer, spiritual warfare, praise/ worship, contextualization, church planting, language acquisition, team dynamics, discerning God’s will, spiritual gifts, evangelism, cultural adaptation, discipleship, storytelling,
