INTRODUCING A UNIQUE TRAINING COMMUNITY

Christian Missions to Nations is a unique missionary training community that focuses on equipping the whole person for service in another country or culture. The program is structured to lead a trainee through a process that will enable him/her to face the very real challenges of cross-cultural work. Experienced staff members offer mentoring, guidance and counsel all along the way. Understanding is created through carefully designed study modules. Skills that are essential to the missionary vocation are also developed through practice and hands-on experiences. A well structured and supervised field internship produces maximum learning in a context similar to the one the trainee hopes to serve in Christian Missions to Nations. d " / fl " d l fl

Trainees move from the context of a caring, learning community, to an active cross-cultural experience and then back again to Christian Missions to Nations where they are debriefed in order to promote the greatest growth and understanding. Most trainees will be "field ready" when they complete the course. Those who need extra time or preparation will be well aware of the areas they need to work on. Christian Missions to Nations staff monitors the entire process and assists the candidate to chart a course for successful service.

Study Centre Trainees spend their first months at the good News Mission House centres in beautiful. Kabwe in the Central Zambia. They work through modules that are designed to produce a foundational understanding of the rationale and strategy of missions, interpersonal relations, team dynamics, missiology, cross-cultural adaptation,

communications, and language skills.

Growing in these key areas of understanding, attitude and skill development is the essential core of pre-field preparation. Modules covering cross cultural evangelism and church planting also have extensive hands-on experience that brings theory into the realm of practicality. Courses in Bible are also offered in partnership with other colleges. Hands-on Training Once the initial residential component is finished the trainee travels to exciting and challenging internship opportunities that are tailored to meet their geographical and service interests. This is not a typical short term missions experience it is well organized and complete learning package. Major portion of the time is dedicated to language and culture learning, utilizing skills that have been A Caring Learning Community Christian

developed and practiced during their first months at Christian Missions to Nations Missionary Center.

Missions to Nations has a great mix of people. Missionaries in training are invited to join permanent residential staff and visiting

missionary trainers. Trainee come from different countries and this multicultural component is helpful in learning the art of appreciation of other cultures. The supportive relation environment helps build strong and enduring foundations that will hold up to the stresses of cross-cultural service. Life in Christian Missions to Nations "intentional community" builds faith, character, determination and other important attitudes necessary to

missionary success.

Who should come to Christian Missions to Nations Missionary Center? Christian Missions to Nations will appeal to the committed evangelical Christian who senses God's hand on his or her life for overseas ministry. It takes work and dedication to turn that calling into effective field service. Mission agencies can't always provide adequate training, orientation and personal attention to help a potential candidate get to the field. Many who feel called don't have formal Bible training and don't feel they can afford to spend years in a Bible school before getting to the field. Christian Missions to Nations will help them meet the agency's requirement for Bible studies in an efficient, low -cost manner with the option of studying while on the field. Others do have the Bible training and/or are well grounded in their knowledge and use of Scripture but lack the cross-cultural and missiological understanding they need to succeed. Christian Missions to the Nations specialized focus on practical cross-cultural training will help those candidates get there, stay there, and be effective. If they stay there, we must help them - Be Effective!
If God has called them, then we must help them - Get There!

Thousands of sincere Christians have felt a tug on their heart to serve God in some crosscultural capacity. Doubts, fears and life circumstances seem to overwhelm the But we are well aware of the fact that getting to the field isn't enough. There are two even greater challenges: staying there and being effective.

impulse. They don't find the encouragement or guidance necessary to grow that calling into a vocation. Christian Missions to Nations is committee to standing with, encouraging and training those with a calling to fulfill the will of God for their lives.

If they stay there, we must help them - Be Effective!

Through good training, stubbornness or perseverance, many missionaries do manage to stay on the field. But how many are really effective? Only effective people make effective missionaries and Christian Missions to Nations holistic training focuses on the whole person. Starting out with the right attitude and commitment to language learning and cultural adaptation are indispensable. And working with others in a loving way that recognizes and appreciates differences in each other is the other key factor that will determine effectiveness Christian Missions to Nations builds these attitudes and provides missionary candidates with the skills needed to succeed.

Who benefits when a missionary candidate comes to Christian Missions to Nations? Churches Communities Institutions. Missionary sending churches benefit by receiving realistic appraisals of a candidate' suitability for overseas service. When the church sends their missionary candidate to Christian Missions to Nations , the feedback and evaluative report that they receive will assist the church in making responsible decisions. Don't assume that the mission agency does this work. If a missionary fails, it is that missionary and the sending church that ultimately pay the price of failure on the field.

Christian Missions to Nations exists to help missionary candidates get there, stay there and be effective! We assist evangelical and Pentecostal churches, denominations and missionary agencies by training their candidates to be effective cross-cultural missionaries. We cooperate with other training institutions to provide pre-field training, guided internship programs and continuing education opportunities. We know we have accomplished our objective when our alumni get to their field, successfully adapt to their new context and make positive contributions to evangelism and growth of the Church, community and institutions. This is mainly as the result of the training that will provide to our students that includes both bible, and Community work. Social

work components has made it more effective for our missionaries to be effective in the mission field in that they will address spiritual and social problems at the same time.

Missionary Agencies Missionary agencies have long understood the need for whole person training but are concerned about the costs in terms of time and finances. It is hard enough to get a candidate through the long and expensive path of Bible school and seminary (a common requirement that has in itself quelled the initiative of thousands of potential candidates). Christian Missions to Nations is eager to partner with missions agencies to address the problem of a dwindling pool of available recruits. Christian Missions to Nations offers a different kind of a program, one that addresses the need for Bible knowledge and discipleship while also addressing the core curriculum in missionary pre-field training that leads to a successful missions career. We work with you in cultivating an active relationship with the potential candidate while giving them solid training that will help them stick with the agency over the years. Our Commitments We believe we can best achieve our training objectives by: 1. Living together as a multi-cultural learning community committed to the development of interpersonal relationship skills and the cultivation of personal and spiritual growth. 2. Providing classroom instruction by seasoned missionaries and other experienced practitioners.
