A series of courses that deal with foundational, contextual and contextualization learnings/ probings will be made available on an internet website, available by May 2008.
The first course is now available -- the course on Worldviews (see also “Information about Current Quarter” at left.) Dr. Steinbronn has left open most Saturdays and Sundays just in case you would like him to come and conduct a workshop on Worldviews in your congregation (recently George Barna said that understanding and constructing a biblical worldview is one of the most important, if not the most important, needs for the Christian church today).

Course Methodology
Each course consists of six, 2.5 hour sessions that begins with a "position paper and video presentation" that introduces the key concepts and probings for the session, along with significant cognitive, attitudinal and applicational objectives. Courses participants will also have access to online learning opportunities via discussion boards, chat rooms, and distance education classrooms.
The Missio Dei Network
The ministry of the Missio Dei Network, through Ephesians 4 leadership, offers these gifts of the ascended Lord to congregations through on-site visitations and distance education/on-site instruction so that disciples, congregations and mission leaders may be formed who are able to minister the love of Christ, the word of Christ, the mind of Christ and the compassion of Christ in their congregation, community, and world. The Missio Dei Network exists to provide theological and contextual materials and to foster learning communities that encourage, form, and equip mission leaders for missiological bridge-building in the 21st century.
