Following are papers I have written while a student in the School of World Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.  They are from classes in both the School of World Mission and the School of Theology.

All papers represent my own opinions at the time they were written (although these opinions are usually molded by my professors), and do not necessarily reflect the position of Fuller Seminary.  My own personal thoughts, opinions, and theology related to the papers may also have changed...

I'd love to hear anyone's comments regarding what I've written.  I've learned alot in the process and it is my prayer that these ramblings may be helpful to someone else as well!

Blessings!
