Method - Training through seminars and talks.
- By life and example model discipleship and evangelism.
- Formal teaching sessions (30 in the three years) done by Cornhill Training Course.
- Conferences – House party in June, Word Alive, Ishmael My Brother etc.
The British Base
Formal training. Students attend classes and workshops offered by Cornhill Training Course.
Personal training. This is achieved by 1:1 discipleship between students and local British professionals
A discipling scheme (Philip Project Partners) links students with local Christian professionals. The idea is to grow individuals with a strong commitment to Biblical Christianity. 1:1 discipleship is a key plank in the structure of the project.
The African Base
IFES affiliated movements and other evangelical bodies in the countries where the trainees come from provide support and resources for the students on their return home.
African Networking
The purpose of the network is threefold. Firstly, to provide the project with fresh candidates. Secondly, to provide a 'washback effect' for the project. The lessons learnt in the field are fed back into the course to keep it as relevant to the target situation as possible. Thirdly, to provide the returnees with prayer and moral support besides the opportunity to preach.
The two year programme at the Clerkenwell Centre, Woodbridge Chapel, Faringdon London
The topics covered.
The syllabus is a rolling programme. This means you can join the class for one year (this is especially suitable for students who are in the UK for one year) or for two years. If you enrol for a year you cover only half the material but if you stay on for the two years you cover the entire syllabus. The next class starts on September 2004.
