Happening Now: SEM 2012


This morning started off with a session, taught by Charlie McCordic, challenging students with what to look for in a missions agency. Afterwards the students had a chance to sit down one-on-one with the missionaries from each organization represented, and discuss the organization and how the student could possibly fit. This discussion time was followed by brunch. After brunch, Mr. McCordic taught on Being Single in Missions and the students had the opportunity to hear testimonies from missionaries who are single or had been single for a large part of their ministry. Following this workshop, Kevin Simkins, from Rock Mills Fellowship Baptist Church, gave a session on the role of the local church in missions. The students were able to discuss in a board-room setting the issues facing the local church and missions today.

Right now, students are meeting  individually with a couple missionaries for about thirty minutes to discuss where they are and what steps they should consider taking in the future in regards to missions.
