Step 1
YOUR HOME-CHURCH
Equipping for cross-cultural service.
In your home country, as part of your normal daily routine, you learn the practical and spiritual skills you’ll need to do cross-cultural church planting ministry. You will be able to put this practical training into practice in your local church before relocating overseas to your country of service.
Step 2
Language And Culture Study
Immersion in the language & culture.
You have arrived at your country of service. First you’ll be oriented to the country and build relationships while learning the culture and trade language. When ready you will locate to, and live amongst the unreached people group with whom God called you to serve Him. There you’ll build relationships with the local people while learning their language and culture. Throughout this process you will be further equipped by fellow missionaries with extensive experience within that country.
Step 3
Church Planting And Discipleship
A church is born and grows.
You will share the gospel and teach the Bible chronologically. The people who accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour are strengthened in their newfound faith through discipleship. A new church is born who will themselves become involved in outreach and discipleship.
