BUS2100EN - Marketplace Ministry for Everyday Life

Course description

This course seeks to familiarise the student with the concept of marketplace ministry at the global marketplace, to provide various models of marketplace ministries and to assist the students to impact the business world regardless of where they live and work.

How this course benefits students

Dr. Billy Graham in the 1990’s labeled the 21st century as the century of the marketplace, thus highlighting the focus that must be given to the marketplace for evangelism. Any student that lives and works in any community and relates to those around him/her needs to know how other believers deal with similar settings and how they can be effective in their role as Kingdom citizens.

Why this course is important

The Kingdom people - MU students - who daily engage in the marketplace in all sector of our community globally must see their world through the eyes of the Lord as the setting where they are placed as His ambassadors.
