Professional and Personal Interests
Scott Moreau served on Staff with Campus Crusade for Christ for 14 years. His first responsibility was to direct Campus Crusade’s evangelistic campaign “Ngiyitfolile” (“I Found It”) in the northern region of Swaziland. He also in personal witness and discipleship as part of his teaching responsibilities in Ntonjeni Swazi National High School, where he taught physics and general science. For six months prior to his departure, he directed the Swaziland high school ministry work for Campus Crusade, involving ten CCC staff located in 7 high schools around the country. He visited each high school every month, taking staff and students witnessing in their community and among their peers.

Scott then came to the U.S. for further training in seminary in preparation to return to Africa. During his four years at Seminary, he was the Student Intern at Knox Presbyterian Church in Naperville, Illinois. While at Knox the Senior High group, which Scott led as part of his responsibilities, grew from 10 to 50, with students evangelizing fellow students as a normal process in the ministry.

After seminary, Scott taught for one semester at Campus Crusade’s seminary in Arrowhead Springs, California as a final step in preparing to move to Nairobi, Kenya. In Kenya Scott taught at the Nairobi International School of Theology (NIST). As a regular part of his teaching responsibilities, Scott trained seminary students in personal evangelism through weekly outreach and discipleship meetings. He also participated in outreach programs through local churches and ministries, speaking to a variety of groups on topics ranging from cults to spiritual warfare in Africa. While at NIST, he taught courses on personal evangelism and discipleship, church planting and growth, contemporary African society, intercultural communication, and contextualization of theology.

Scott and his family returned to the US in July of 1991 to take a position in the Intercultural Studies department. He has focused his teaching, research, and writing in several areas, including intercultural communication, contextualization, trends in missions, church growth, spiritual warfare and folk religions. He has concentrated work on developing Internet-based resources to help equip the worldwide church by providing access to materials that will help forward the Kingdom of God in biblically-faithful and contextually-relevant ways (e.g., www.mislinks.org, www.emqonline.org, and www.strategicnewtork.org). As editor of Evangelical Missions Quarterly, he promotes professional development of cross-cultural evangelists and missionaries to that they may be more effective in accomplishing what God has called them to do.
