Knowledge of the religious world-view of our non-Christian friends and neighbours is essential if we want to win them to Christ. This course will equip you with an understanding of religion, its origins and its expressions through some of the major religions of the world. We will focus our studies on a comparative study of the major Asian religions – Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam – with biblical Christianity. The belief systems and the practices of these religions will be studied together with how they compare with measure up to what the Bible teaches. Two case studies will be presented to help students be aware of cultural and religious sensitivities that may cause roadblocks to the effective sharing of the Gospel.

This course builds on the course “Principles of Counselling.” It is recommended that students attend the courses in sequence. Participants will understand counselling approaches and more importantly, what is expected of a biblical counsellor. The importance of developing a proper relationship with the one being counselled will be emphasised and skills on how to achieve this will be taught.

Participants will also learn how to perceive needs and problems. Practical counselling skills such as listening and responding with empathy, warmth and respect will be included in this course. More challenging skills involving confrontation as well as those to overcome resistance from the one being counselled will also be imparted.
