We have now completed my second and, by far, most enjoyable Joining God''s Mission class at Jim Elliot School. The class was so successful with student "buy in" (spiritually, intellectually, and experiencially) that I have decided to help the class drink more deeply from the missional well next semester. The trick is what and how do we proceed? My initial title for the Senior Seminar class is "Faith, Culture, and Mission After High School" which is sufficiently broad enough to integrate all three areas into this full year class. First quarter I plan to use the new Tangible Kingdom Primer by High Halter and Matt Smay which is highly user-and-experiential-friendly which I have found is especially important for high school students. Second quarter I want to drink more deeply from culture and mission including the whole "believing, belonging, and behaving" model which is transforming so much of our cultural engagement.
I haven't blogged much recently because I have been so caught up in the missional process of Joining God's Mission with students at JECS but I did want to document this recent most enjoyable success. . . which is really only the tip of the iceberg of Joining God's Mission beyond high school.
