Ways in which this class incorporates world changer ideas: 

 

Darwin's theory of evolution is discussed with the almost unanimous conclusion by students that the Bible's record of creation by God is true. This comes into view with workshop one on the Cosmos.  Workshop two is about God.  His persona, nature, and being are highlighted from Biblical revelation. New appreciation in our Creator is experienced by 100% of the class.  The third workshop is on the human family.  This is one the most meaningful in view of the need to undergird the family unity and influence. The stronger the family, the stronger the nation and society in general.  Workshop four is on sin.  100% of the class knows this well by experience, but not by what the Bible reveals about human nature.  This theme calls every person to account for his or her life and the sins that enchain. The last workshop is on the goof life. This is life in Christ as focused in John 3, the new birth and how this changes one's person, home, family, work place, community, nation and world.  This course is true to the world changer mission as students internalize the truths from God's Word and the themes studied.
