MISSIONS-OUTREACH
Ministering to the nations, both here and abroad, is a special calling. It is not any less valuable than other callings. We had this in mind when we created this program of study. So many feel called to Missions and Outreach but do not know what steps to take first. We eliminate the mystery and open up to you the precepts that allow you to build a mission or outreach ministry that is honorable to the Lord Jesus Christ.
This program of study covers subjects such as:
- The All-Nations Call ~ Not every Christ-follower is called to the nations. You are certain you’ve been called to the nations, but something has delayed the start of your missions ministry. We help you to make some changes in your life so can increase the probability of success as you reach out in home-missions (your own country) or in world-missions (other nations).
- Cross-cultural Training ~ Through our assignments we will challenge you to familiarize yourself with cultures that are different from yours. Become adventurous and learn about other nationalities and their culture and traditions. Embracing various cultures will give a perspective that will benefit you in missions for many years to come.
- Team Leadership ~ You will learn team development, team orientation, and team perspective. You are the strongest when your vision for the nations can be imparted to the hearts of others, so they must flow together as one. Conversely, missions trips can become the greatest challenge if your team experiences conflict between themselves. We reveal principles which will keep your team in check, and cause them to keep the purpose of the missions effort at the forefront of their thoughts.
- Planning and Logistics ~ Our Missions and Outreach Program teaches you the principles of backward planning, communicating with your foreign host, travel to other countries, nutrition in the host country, physical preparation, gaining passports, and more. Missions is hard work and many missions efforts fail, but proper training, both physical and spiritual, will ause you missions ministry to be successful
