This curriculum is designed to give the necessary undergraduate training for directors of Christian education, youth leaders, released time teachers, and church secretaries, in America and on the foreign field. Students planning for the foreign field need an adequate background in Christian education. Because much of the missionary’s work involves the building of an indigen ous church through the training of native leaders, the modern evangelical missionary must be prepared to establish educational institutions to carry on under native leadership. Those interested in Christian education as an avocation are trained to work in the educational program of the local church as Bible teachers, Sunday School superinten dents, club leaders, youth sponsors, conference leaders, and to do similar work outside the church. The requirements for a major are 23 hours in Christian Education with a required minor in psychology of 13 hours. The student is expected to have a second major in Bible and doctrine of 34 hours. 103. EVANGELISM IN CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
