Daily Schedule of SENT School 2007
Student Testimony
I was glad for the various “field
experiences” that we received. The cultural survey trip, the
time spent watching Samuel minister to the Konkomba churches, even
time in the markets of Tamale, was all very good for one who had
never left the States before. These are the kinds of things I wanted
to have a taste of before being stationed on the field for any length
of time, and I think you did an excellent job of giving us just
such a taste alongside the school schedule we had. Some of the assignments
were a bit stretching, especially the cultural survey trip, but
I really appreciated being nudged out of my comfort zone.
The Story of His Glory also deepened and broadened
my understanding of the missionary thrust of the whole Bible.
Taking that extended period of time to consider missions related
passages and concepts from all over the scriptures really helped
to pull my somewhat fragmented knowledge of missions in the Bible
together into a cohesive unit. I can honestly say now that I can
hardly read the Bible or hear it read without observing something
that has direct or indirect bearing on world mission.
SENT School served to solidify my vision for
and theology of missions, fan the flame of missionary zeal in
my heart, spur me on to more urgent pursuit of mission involvement
as soon as the Lord opens the doors, and prepare me to some degree
for what I will find on the other side of those doors. I deeply
appreciate the opportunities we were given at SENT and would recommend
the experience to any other youth I knew was interested in missions
or finding God’s will for his life.
