MS 701 Senior Reflection Seminar
Mark J. Hatcher
The Senior Reflection Seminar for MA’s in World Mission and Evangelism meets on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. The course consists of senior students leading class discussions related to their personal, academic and mission experience, and their ministry calling. The primary source informing each class discussion is the SM615 Supervised Mission paper supplied to class members by each student leader a week before his/her class leadership. In addition to the SM615 paper, student leaders are expected to: (1) open class with an appropriate devotional, (2) direct a time of sharing in prayer, and (3) give an autobiographical account of their spiritual journey and their anticipated field of ministry (see attached form). Since the class only has a few students this semester, students will only meet at 9:30 enough times for each student to lead a session. Students will also attend the Seminar on Missiology in the ESJ Forum room on Wednesdays from 8:15 to 9:30 a.m., and write the interaction papers that the course requires.
