The student population is comprised of two major groups:



The majority will be movement leaders, church leaders, activist believers, and business entrepreneurs

who want to extend their skills into wider movement leadership among the urban poor.



Existing workers with a number years experience and proven servant ability who are progressing from

pastoral, evangelistic, teaching, prophetic or diaconal (community development) roles into future

apostolic team leadership of multiplying urban church movements in the slums across a city.



Those preparing to be pioneers who would catalyse new movements in cross-cultural settings among

the urban poor in the poorest cities of the world.



Up to 1/3 of applicants may be drawn from among those intending to serve the urban poor from a

diaconal or justice role, and wanting to use business or professional training and experience to socially,

politically, economically and spiritually liberate the poor.

Some will do this in church-based advocacy, community development or community organisation

processes within urban poor movements.


Some will do this through non-governmental organizations (e.g. World Vision, Oxfam, Tear Fund) or

foundations, multilateral development agencies (e.g., the United Nations, World Bank Group, OECD,

WTO), refugee and immigration services,

Some will do this through government ministries, and business enterprises, or through professions such

as teaching, journalism, development planning, and administration, especially within less-developed

regions.
