The discussions helped me to find answers to the various arguments and to root me more in my evangelical position.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The course on Bible and Mission changed the way I read the Bible through its emphasis on missional hermeneutics and the idea that the indicative must always precede the imperative. In a lot of churches here, the imperative precedes the indicative, which is one of the factors that contribute to nominal Christianity. Meanwhile the course on the Methodology of Scientific Research has equipped me well for ethnographic research and the writing of a thesis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I lead the early meditation at Radio Tangazeni Kristo (RTK) one week per month from 6: 30 to 6: 45.
