Reaching the world

As spiritual darkness becomes more pervasive around the world, Maranatha is intensifying its efforts to train the next generation of Christian leaders to reach out to an increasingly global society in creative, God-honoring ways.

Maranatha’s missions program includes a Bible core curriculum that emphasizes core doctrines and biblical literacy and also teaches students to deal with competing philosophies, current trends, and cross-cultural issues. In response to challenges from urbanization, technology, pluralism, and restricted access countries, the missions program includes a strong linguistics curriculum and an emphasis on understanding worldviews.

Short-term missions

A missions team, assembled in an eight-hour span during the evening of Nov. 1 and morning of Nov. 2, spent two days helping Bethel Baptist Fellowship in Brooklyn after the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy.

The men performed cleanup work in the flooded church building and, with the help of their fellow students, provided clothing, food, and other essential items for distribution to the Sheepshead Bay community.

Global encounters

Each summer, more than 100 Maranatha students see God change their lives as they travel overseas to places like South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Global Encounters is Maranatha’s strategy to mobilize faculty and students to partner with local churches worldwide and reach into the needy regions of the globe with the gospel. “We want to do that with passion and ultimately for the glory of God,” says Brian Trainer, who directs several summer mission teams. Since the program began in 2006, more than 100 students have traveled internationally every year.
