Summary for Course = TUL520 (56 competencies)

Course Objectives: This course is the foundational course introducing themes in the degree, utilising a story-telling theological approach.

It develops the theme of the Kingdom of God as a basis for practical experiences in entering poor communities and

TUL530 Urban Poor Church developing holistic poor peoples' churches. Utilising entrance and evangelism models from Jesus, Paul, Hiebert,

Leadership Brewster, issues of incarnation, identification, and womens' and family issues in incarnation are examined.

(Churchplanting) Churchplanting models from Hesselgrave, Stefan, Grigg develop elements of proclamation, power evangelism, mass

evangelism, discipleship of the poor and lead to practical processes of cell group, small group, fellowship and

structured church development in theory and in practical work assignments. Issues of church-based development

among the poor are introduced, beginning with the development of deacons and elders and patterns of leadership

training based on the role of the Holy Spirit and the five leadership giftings. These are related back to sociological

(Gerlach & Hine) and community organisation (Alinsky et al) models of leadership emergence. The theology of the

Kingdom of God is related to practical aspects of pastoral issues in ministering among the urban poor: cooperative

economics, land rights, poverty, justice, oppression, suffering, cash flows, etc.
