Your Work Gap Year and Christian Discipleship Courses
A primary subject for numerous students is what to do in their gap year during the time between school/college and uni, or sometimes the period after graduation (which many students take now as their “gap year”). Although travelling is the popular pick, there are further choices to consider, like volunteer work, or even to plunge yourself into a christian discipleship course for 11 months with the organization DNA (dna-uk.org). This article explores in more detail this particular alternative.
DNA are proffering an almost year long experience of total absorption into Christian Discipleship, running from October to August. This is seen as a “year in with God, not a year out.”, requiring the enrollee to live in a Christian surrounding – either inside your own church if you currently belong to one, or a specified church if you’re not currently a member of a church. Your regular day will involve assisting with the day-to-day activities of the church, and to be trained by its members in bible studies. The course ensures faith in action, so those who join can anticipate a rather practical experience of Christian faith, and not just the theoretical study.
More selling points of the studies include:-
- being risky, radical and life altering
- faith in action; what you’ll study is what you will do
- preparing you for work
- dependence on the person and force of the Holy Spirit in and through you
- offering an accredited programme through the National Open College Network
There are 3 sorts of course available : Track 1 is the most popular access point to DNA – it is the fullest DNA expereince. The vast bulk of people decide that this is the best selection for them. Track 2 is more suited to you if taking a whole “year-out” is not practically viable. This could be for reasons such as job or family commitments. Track 2 consequently provides some tractability. Track 3 offers individuals the chance of joining us for as many individual training sessions or days as they want.
