Becky teaches a course called Western Culture, which really focuses on historical themes from ancient times that have influenced our culture today. The main areas of concentration begin with Greek Mythology, Roman Empire, and then several weeks spent on Judaism and Chrstinty. All of this information is presented in their textbooks as “theories” and “heavily believed ideas”, but we were able to present the last item on the list for what it is…. truth. From Creationism to the Cross, these students were given a clear picture of the gospl.
Chris was able to teach a segment on the Reformation and give a beautiful illustration as he told the story of Abraham’s obedience with Isaac just like Martin Luther once did long, long ago. We were both able to connect the history of SEAsian culture to the stories from the OT as well as some of the early teachings from the chrch in the 1500’s. We are so thankful for this huge opportunity to share with such a large group while it was permissible in a historical context.
