Global Village Course

In conjunction with ACU's Summer Seminar in Missions a unique course will be taught at the new Global Village operated by Harding University at Camp Tahkodah. A missions course will be offered that introduces students to hands-on ministries to the rural poor. The Global Village consists of five separate villages where students learn practical skills as well as principles of relief and development. All of this is done in an extended cross-cultural simulation. To see the full brochure visit http://www.harding.edu/cwm/Development%20Ministry/HUT/HUT.htm. For application, contact Monte Cox at mcox@harding.edu or call (501) 279-4186.
