Have You Considered Enrolling on a Christian Discipleship Course?
February 8th, 2010Many individuals end up at a time in their life where future is unclear. You might be a student who’s recently got your degree, or perhaps in your 60s and just retired. Possibly you’ve been laid off from work and are discouraged at being unemployed, but equally demoralised by the sort of work placements available. During times like these, we often look for an alternative course of action. An organization called DNA (dna-uk.org) are proffering such an alternative – to make great use of your youth work gap year by entering a discipleship christian course.
DNA are proffering an 11 month long experience of total immersion into Christian Discipleship, running from October to August. This is seen as a pragmatic experience, needing the enrollee to dwell inside a Christian environment – either within your own church if you already belong to one, or a designated church if you are not presently a fellow member of a church. Your typical day will involve helping out with the day to day projects of the church, and to be trained by its fellow members in bible studies. The course assures faith in action, so those who sign up can expect a rather pragmatic experience of Christian faith, and not only the theoretical study.
Further selling points of the placements include:-
- outfitting you for church-based leading
- developing you for work
- dependence on the person and power of the Holy Spirit in and through you
- offering an accredited programme via the National Open College Network
- relational, non religious Christianity; it’s fun!
There are three sorts of course open : Track 1 is the most common entry point to DNA – it is the most complete DNA expereince. The over-whelming majority of people decide that this is the best pick for them. Track 2 is more suited to you if taking a whole “year-out” is not practically possible. This could be for reasons like your workplace or family commitments. Track 2 consequently provides some tractability. Track 3 offers individuals the chance of coming in to be with us for as many individual training sessions or days as they wish.
