Seminar
Heart
Musics in Missions
Tuesday July 11, 2006 - 9:00-5:00
Facilitators:
Dr. Tom Avery, Paul Neeley, Dr. John Benham
Culturally appropriate music can be a key element in evangelism,
church planting, discipleship, and worship, as well as
ministries such as health and education. But if we are
foreigners to a music system, how much can we do?
This
seminar will equip you:
1) to tap into the heart music of a
people to reach them effectively with the message of
God's Word in song;
2) to coach local
composers and musicians to develop a music ministry among
their own people group.
The
one-day seminar is designed for all of those in and preparing for
cross-cultural ministry, regardless of musical training or
ability.
You
will gain understanding of the role and importance of heart
music in local bodies of the worldwide church. You will
also receive some theoretical and practical tools necessary to
promote creation of indigenous Christian music in a variety of
cultural or multi-cultural settings. You will see how a Biblical
case for ethnomusicology includes music in worship,
discipleship, and evangelism.
If you choose to take this course for graduate credit through
Bethel University, there will be reading and writing assignments
and additional fees. Please write to j-benham@bethel.org.
Course materials (textbook, CD-ROM, and notes) are included in
seminar fee of $65.00.
