Mowat returned to school while pastoring yet another Church. He graduated Suma Cum Laude in 1983 with a Master’s Degree in Christian ministries from what is now Indiana Wesleyan University.
John had one passion when he returned to school. He wanted to understand how God wanted to work with both pastors and lay persons to reach a lost world with the gospel. Thus John turned every course that he took while completing his Masters into a study of this subject; i.e. a course on the book of acts became a study of lay persons and leaders in the book of acts. This culminated in his 150 page Master’s thesis; The Ministry of the Laity in its Social Contact as it Affects Evangelism. Dr. Charles Carter, his thesis adviser; author, missionary, and college professor, told him it should be published.
Circumstances, and a sense of God leading eventually thrust John back into the world as a lay person. There while pursuing a living as owner of a construction business, John related to employees, real estate personnel, home owners, bankers, sales people, tenants. John saw life. He was in people’s homes, sometimes for months at a time. He was in their lives.
During this time and following, John remained active in church related activities, teaching and preaching in churches of 4 different widely varying denominational backgrounds, areas of the country and size of churches.
15 years of pastoral ministry and a Master’s degree produced John’s Master’s thesis. Another 35 plus years of ministry both in and out the pulpit, as well as 23 with his own construction business have uniquely prepared John to write Interactive Christianity and its accompanying study guide.ver menos
