The six-week training at Malaysia Theological Seminary in Seremban attracts students from allover Asia. The programme, which usually runs in the month of June\/July, combines lectures and field trips to give students the best of academic training and exposure in a multi-faith and multi-cultural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In between lessons, discussions and devotions, the students visited a mosque, a Hindu temple and a Buddhist temple, and participated in an interfaith dialogue. Some of the students also go on weekend mission trips to various places in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midway through the programme, the students were asked for their feedback on the course. \u201cThe subject matters offer good cross-culture exposure to participants. I could see the incarnated Christ in the lecturers I met. They were interested and prepared for people of different cultures,\u201d said one student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another student said he had learnt how to fit himself in a new culture and now has a better understanding of the mission of God from the beginning to the end of the New Testament. \u201cWe should be mission leaders not just to preach but also to attract people in our sphere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked how he intended to apply the lessons learnt, one student said: \u201cThe Bible in mission lessons complement the Kairos course that I am conducting. I will integrate cross-cultural issues in my ministry, teaching and preaching.\u201d Another student said he had learnt to respect and appreciate other cultures and to use contextualisation lessons on \u201cunreached people groups\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The learning at Asia Gateway has certainly helped these church workers and leaders by increasing their sensitivity to local cultures wherever they may be or serve. Sometimes, the gospel is compromised by such ignorance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asia Gateway Training is a key initiative of AsiaCMS to train and equip workers and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 -
