First Hour
Choice A: Missions in Southeast Asia (Dysart)
God is at work in Southeast Asia drawing people to Himself. After a brief overview of Southeast Asian history, we will study the history of Christian missions in this region of the world. We also plan to invite guest speakers to come and share their stories. Each week we will discuss a few chapters from a lesser known story titled Return of the White Book. This book tells the amazing story of God’s work among the Karen people of Myanmar and Thailand.
Student Supplies: Return of the White Book by Rebecca Davis – Please note this book is NOT available on Kindle. The book is available on Book Depository (allow 2 months for delivery) or Amazon (if you’ll be in America over the summer or would like to have a friend bring the book back for you).
Choice B: Worldviews (Carter)
Exactly what is this world? Find out in this introduction to worldviews class! Students will be introduced to some big questions – Why is the world here? What is a human being? Is there a God? Then we will study four competing approaches to answering the big questions: theism, atheism, pantheism and paganism. Finally, we’ll seek to understand the Christian faith as a worldview and compare it to a contemporary secular worldview.
Student Supplies: A4 size folder; A4 pad of lined paper; Bible
Choice C: Study Hall
Teenage students are allowed to choose one class hour per semester to be a Study Hall. The co-op is screen free so students must bring work that does not require a device to complete.
