Missions

The M.Div. in Missions will equip students to engage in holistic ministry in cross-cultural contexts, either locally or globally, as faithful witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Tyndale Seminary offers training for missionary service on all six continents including North America. Students are exposed to the range of contemporary missiological theory and practice, evaluated by our evangelical perspectives. Toronto’s multicultural and cosmopolitan character and the international composition of the Seminary provide an enriching context for the study of contemporary missions. The various missions and missions-related courses are also beneficial to those wanting to upgrade their skills.

Students are required to fulfill their internship requirement in a cross-cultural context. This is to be arranged in consultation with the major coordinator.

Any inquiries related to the Missions major may be directed to Dr. Wafik Wahba at wwahba [at] tyndale [dot] ca.
