Children at Risk

This course will help you to better understand what it would look like for children-at-risk to be meaningfully incorporated in the mission of the church, something which a large part of the church has either ignored or under-emphasized for 2000 years. It will urge you to help correct those failings, by responding appropriately in your ministry. By the end of this course you should be able to:

• Define “children-at-risk” within the context of the worldwide crisis and within your own ministry.
• Formulate a biblical response to the worldwide orphan crisis.
• Define “Holistic Child Development” in the context of a biblically and theologically grounded model.
• Interpret the biblical and theological foundations for a call to action in your ministry.
• Draft an action plan for your church or ministry which addresses the needs of children-at-risk in your context.
