| A way to see the heart of Christ in the skin of every culture |

One implication is that we are focused on developing training that avoids the process of simply exporting a culturally conditioned model for missionary work.
We do this by training based upon a foundation of INDUCTIVE STUDY OF THE BIBLE using large sections, even whole books.
WHY BASE THE TRAINING IN INDUCTIVE STUDY OF LARGE SECTIONS OF SCRIPTURE?
Perhaps the most important answer is that the inductive method returns scripture to its rightful place as the PRIMARY ministry training textbook. The scriptures present us with an amazing array of leaders, church plants, pastoral case studies, and the ministry of Jesus Himself.
Next, the inductive method approaches the text to hear what the TEXT says.
Third, the inductive method allows everyone on a team, no matter what their theological or cultural background, to approach the training at the same level. We are using the Bible, which can be studied in each team member’s language in most cases.
Fourth, by studying LARGE sections, we avoid “proof-texting” and we get a clearer picture of the whole flow of the text. That is, we are able to avoid the trap of picking verses that we know agree with us.
Finally, we can avoid the process by which a leader or teacher selects the smaller portions to be studied and thus subtly determines what the team’s conclusions will be.
HOW TO DO INDUCTIVE STUDY OF LARGE SECTIONS OF SCRIPTURE?
The simplest answer is that we read a whole book or sometimes books and as we do so we ask ourselves several “big” questions about missions and ministry. We are asking some very focused “big” questions about church planting, the nature of the church, how to develop leaders, etc.
Here are some tips:
1. Stay focused on the TEXT and on your reflection questions.
2. Try to end with having your team or group summarize what they have learned AND summarizing how they will apply it.
3. We suggest “manuscript studies”. Using a CDROM version of a good translation, print out all of Luke and Acts and put them in a folder or binder. The advantage is that you get a better feel for the books as a whole.
4. Get started and trust the process. Don’t worry about guiding things to the “right” conclusion. Expect the Holy Spirit to arrive, lead and amaze you!
