Abstract

Throughout history, God has used the wilderness as a special setting for transformation. Yet today in our increasingly urbanized world, young people are less able to experience the wilderness. Young people today are unsure how to engage a world of poverty, religions, violence, and clashing civilizations. Thus, young leaders need reflective dialogue toward a theology of apprenticeship for missions. In the past 15 years the author has spent nearly a year in the wilderness with groups of young people. This study provides a theological framework to understand why the wilderness has been a common setting for developing dynamic mission leaders.
