WLC 120 - Leadership & Inner City Missions

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

Students will travel to Indianapolis to work at three inner-city missions. Students will spend one week at each mission working with people from various walks of life. In addition, students will live for several days at one of the missions to gain a greater understanding of the trials of the homeless. All missions are Christian-based ministries. Therefore, students should be prepared to discuss Biblical and Christian values. Prayer will be an integral part of this course, and each day will begin and end in prayer. Each day will end with a group debriefing of the day's events as well as a discussion of the next day's preparation. The first class meeting will be at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Other meetings will be announced and will vary from week to week. Students should expect to spend many more hours during this course than they would otherwise in a typical 48-hour activity-oriented course. Leadership topics will also be included in the course, especially with regard to servant leadership. Please note that this course is open to students of any faith. The grade in the course is based on attendance, group responsibilities, overnight stays, a daily journal, a reflection paper, banquet participation, and the leadership final. Prerequisite: None. Extra Fees: Transportation using college vans, meals if not included in meal plan, banquet at end of course. A-F grading. Satisfies one intercultural requirement.
