An 8-Month Engagement of Integrated Discipleship through Service Learning
No full textBibliography: leaves 133-136Church leaders continue to look for initiatives that will help them lead their congregants to become disciples of Jesus. They are often pressured to do more bible study, increase prayer, or help others serve more in the church or their community. Is discipleship these unique activities or is it better to view it as an integration of them; to see that deep transformation will occur only as these various disciplines or activities encounter each other? This project looked at the impact of an 8-month integrated discipleship initiative following the pedagogical framework of service learning. It used the integration of personal and group reflection, scriptural reflection, classroom learning about a specific concern to society's marginalized and hands-on serving in the area of concern. The five aspects were cycled through on a monthly basis over the 8 months. The initiative demonstrated significant formational impact including an understanding of personal gifting, an increased appreciation for the value of scripture and the realization that unresolved tensions are part of formation. Using narrative research, it allowed participants the opportunity to express in their own words what their transformation looked like. It indicated that when various activities intersect each other, there is an increased formational effect. In the end, seven conclusion were articulated with implications for the local church.Thesis (D.

Developing a Contextualized Model for Small Group Ministry at Disciples Revival Church, Toronto, Ontario
No full textBibliography: leaves 125-129This thesis describes a contextualized small group model and the steps taken to implement it in Disciples Revival Church in Toronto, Canada. This Pentecostal church is primarily composed of immigrants mostly from Africa and the Caribbean Islands. After struggling to establish a small group ministry, the congregation and leadership were consulted through conversations, interviews and surveys resulting in a more flexible, focused, and situation sensitive model. The purpose of this small group ministry is to build a community of disciples nurtured by Bible study and prayer, connected with the church through their leaders, who minister to the needs of those within and beyond the group. The model was pilot-tested with one round of leadership training and the establishment of two groups which exhibited the desired characteristics.Thesis (D.

Review of Healing in the Bible: Theological Insight for Christian Ministry by Frederick J. Gaiser
No full textThe methodology employed in the author's book Healing in the Bible (Baker Academic, 2010) is deliberately eclectic, though the coherence of the book lies in its theological perspective. It understands particular texts as participants in a common story that is marked by a confession of a God 'slow to anger'—a story with historical roots and a future trajectory. The readings of biblical texts are the author's own, reflecting the work of his teachers Gerhard von Rad and Claus Westermann.1-15Accepted manuscript is not available for uploading to the TDC repositoryFor AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]

Designing, Writing and Testing a Book and Study Guide for Formational Discipleship
No full textBibliography: leaves 161-168Jesus' commission to make disciples has raised the issue of discipleship with every generation. This dissertation reports on the process of designing, planning, writing and testing a book and study guide, using action research, which has sought to provide readers and participants with an occasion to progress in spiritual formation toward authentic discipleship informed by a Biblical theology. Two groups of participants took part in two cycles of action research in which they provided insight and feedback into the curriculum as it was being written. A Spiritual Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) was developed to measure thirty-eight categories of spiritual formation and was administered prior to and after the course of study. Feedback questionnaires and interviews were also employed. The results indicated a statistically significant increase in the level of theological grounding, of discipleship practices and improvements in the quality of the participants' soul life with God. Participants reported a significant increase in their motivation to draw near to God, live for God, and to reach out to others as ones who have been sent. The data suggests that the use of the action research methodology has resulted in a much better product and process than had this methodology not been used. The actual book and study guide Love's Greatest Joy - A Closer Walk With God is an appendix (Appendix J) to this dissertation.Thesis (D.

The Creation, Implementation and Evaluation of an Evangelical Curriculum to Meet the Ontario Ministry of Education's Requirements for the Comparative World Religions Course (HRT3M) at the Peoples Christian Academy in Markham Ontario Canada
No full textBibliography: leaves 291-295This project was undertaken for the purpose of developing and implementing and then evaluating a course of study which would fulfill the Ontario Ministry of Education's curriculum requirements for Comparative World Religions (HRT3M) while also fulfilling the mandate of the Peoples Christian Academy to provide an excellent, Christ-centered education from an evangelical Christian perspective. After research and creation, the course of study was taught over the course of one academic year. It was then evaluated for its evangelical Christian orientation and its relevance by a panel of Christian educators and a panel of Christian students, respectively. The Ontario Ministry of Education subsequently undertook an inspection of the course' content and delivery. This course of study provides a unique offering to the already healthy availability of resources in the field of comparative world religions. First, this is the only course of study in this subject available to Ontario high school students that is evangelical in its orientation and outlook. While there are other materials from an evangelical Christian orientation, none are designed for Ontario high school students. Second, this course of study is prepared from a posture that takes the possibility of God's general revelation seriously, even the possibility of God's general revelation in non-Christian religious traditions. However, as the Apostle Paul notes in the opening paragraphs of his letter to the church in Rome, general revelation alone is insufficient for salvation. Third, this course of study seeks to equip students with not only knowledge of other religious traditions but with the intellectual, philosophical and theological resources to meaningfully respond to the claims of those in other religious traditions by introducing students to the school of apologetics known as presuppositionalism. While suggesting that there may be genuine revelation of the true God in other religions and also maintaining the need to equip students to defend the Christian worldview might seem to be antithetical goals, they are not. Paul's discourse with the Athenians in Acts 17 provides the reader with both frameworks in that Paul affirms what is good and right, and thus God-ordained, in the Athenian beliefs while at the same time moving them beyond their belief system to show them the true and the living God. This project was testing whether or not the curriculum developed could successfully meet the Ontario Ministry of Education's requirements for a course of study, be appreciated, affirmed and endorsed by an expert panel of Christian educators from Ontario and be found to be engaging and beneficial in the education of a cross-section of high school students. The outcome of this research was an endorsement of the curriculum by the expert panel of educators and students.Thesis (D.
