1.      Read carefully from Acts 13 through Titus in order to produce a simple outline on Paul. Choose one of the following: Paul’s Biography, Paul’s Mentoring, Paul’s Theology, Paul’s Itinerary, Paul’s Ecclesiology. Think in terms of 3 pages but packed with references supporting each point.

2.      *As a group, we will visit the synagogue of Joplin. Dates will be announced. If you cannot go, you will need to write a two page paper on the role of the synagogue in the expansion of Christianity due by May 2.

3.      *Watch one of the missions videos listed below and write a 3-4 page response. After watching the video in the library, I want your group to get away together off campus and talk about the film. In the first paragraph tell which video you watched and summarize its contents. List two things: (1) Characteristics of the missionaries or their work that were surprising or that broke the typical stereotypes of missionaries. (2) List each person in your group and how they responded to this film. Could they do this work? Any missions work? What would it take to get them on foreign soil and what would they like to do there if called? Approved Films: EETAO; Hudson Taylor; Through Gates of Splendor; Peace Child; Helen Roseveare: Motivation for Missions; Mama Luka The Good Seed.

4.      Listen to three sermons on the text of your term paper and record who preached it when and where. Then, on a single page evaluate the sermons as to their method of communication, delivery, and exegetical accuracy. Next, develop and deliver a lesson or sermon yourself. This lesson must be delivered to a live audience off campus (adults, youth, or children) and signed and dated by a Pastor, Youth worker, or Elder (not directly related to you). You will turn in this signed lesson/sermon outline along with any audio/visual supports you used and the one page critique of the sermons you listened to.

·         Attendance: Absences over 6 will result in the failure of this course as outlined in the college catalogue (page 53-4). Four tardies will be counted as one absence. If a student arrives fifteen minutes after class or leaves fifteen minutes before class is over it will be counted as an absence. 

·         Homework: Late work is unacceptable. Assignments and projects are due at the beginning of the class period on which they are assigned.  If you are absent, you are still responsible for having your work brought to class and turned in for you. All work is to be typed unless otherwise noted.

·         Tests: Should you miss an exam you will take a different exam and you will have exactly one week to make it up from the class period on which it was given. You may take it at the testing center (L12) after paying a $5 late fee in the business office.

·         Cheating/Plagiarism: Cheating will result in a zero on the assignment in question and a mandatory meeting with the dean of students to determine further discipline which may include failure in the class or dismissal from the college. Cheating  includes but is not limited to (1) using material from another student for tests, memory, or term papers, (2) not properly citing sources in papers and assignments so as to make it look original, (3) using cheat sheets – written or electronic – for tests or quizzes.
