STEM
Short Term Experience in Ministry

The Purpose
In GBUR, STEM program was inaugurated in 2005. It has a twofold purpose: (1)Provide a staff team to disciple students at the campus. (2)Equip fresh graduates into mature Christian leaders to influence the church and society. It is geared towards giving young graduates an opportunity to serve God in the Church and society on a short-term basis.

The Need
With the increase of the number of GBUs, GBUR training secretaries were finding it difficult to effectively disciple the students. This is a bit easier for a campus staff living in close proximity to the students. 
With our vision “to be agents of Godly transformation in church and society” there is a need for trained, mature Christian leaders to influence Church and society. 
STEM allows fresh graduates to undergo a rigorous discipleship /mentoring program to prepare them as Christian leaders. STEM is primarily for “training” – to develop Christian character and shape the values of those who go through the program.

The Setting 
STEMers can work in two different settings: (1) As a campus staff living in close proximity to the student to know their needs, assist and recommend suitable discipleship program. (2) As an office staff serving at GBUR office according to his/her area of interest and expertise.
