Discipleship Program through Refugee MinistryFall Semester |
SEGUE (seg'-way) is a musical term that means a smooth transition from one piece or element to another. This is what SEGUE is about - creating a smooth transition from where you have been to where you are going. Whether you are looking to soon continue your education, join the business world, serve in vocational ministry, plant yourself in a culture overseas, or ...well, you fill in the blank, SEGUE just might be for you. SEGUE is a semester of guided preparation for life through intensive discipleship and intentional cross-cultural outreach alongside like-minded worshippers. Do you have a passion to see the nations reconciled to God? Do you have a desire do cross-cultural missions in a United States community? Do you want to better understand who God is, how he has revealed himself, who you are in Christ, and who you have been called to be? Do you want to better understand how to disciple other believers? Do you want to walk with ers who share in your passions for truth, missions, and worship? As a part of SEGUE you will get to serve in intentional relational missions right here in a United States community...develop missional living at home before you take it to another context. The United Nations brings thousands of refugees to the United States every year, 2500 of which come to the Dallas area alone! They are open to being served and making new friends. Come make refugee friends - serve them through daily life - gain their trust and friendship, all in the name of Christ who has called us to love those who are strangers in our land! You will live in the peaceful country at Sabine Creek Ranch, near Dallas where you will work with refugees. You will also have the option to serve the Lord on an international missions trip, as we partner with AIM in Jamaica. You would raise additional funds if you choose to participate in this mission trip. For more information see segue.sabinecreek.com

English...More than A CourseFall Semester |
Come serve a city of over 3 million people, the majority of whom are Muslim. Our Urban Team is challenged with the task of finding ways to share the Gospel with them.

These relationships often lead to opportunities to visit in their homes, go to their campuses, and just experience life through their eyes. Through these relationships God gives us opportunities to share Christ in a natural, non-threatening way.

Utilize your skills and talents to organize and participate in English conversation venues. As you build new friendships/relationships you will have the opportunity to share the gospel. Students who are not bold and experienced in sharing their faith should not apply. Any and every outreach is vital in seeking out the hearts that God has been preparing. It gives us an opportunity to show the real love of Christ to those who have never known anything like it. A love that can ignite an unquenchable fire and thirst for the source of living water.
