What We Will Do

Missionary Training School students usually start the morning with a time of corporate prayer, worship, Bible study, small groups, or some other community activity to grow spiritually as a team. Then, we have class for a few hours covering topics like language learning/acculturation, world religions, evangelism, orality/storytelling, raising missionary support, spiritual warfare, OT/NT survey, church planting, etc. After class, students head out into our multi-ethnic community to put into practice what they have been learning. They get involved in meeting physical and spiritual needs in the community as they come alongside our long-term discipleship and church planting teams. They will be mentored by practitioners and living in a very diverse, multi-cultural neighborhood. Your neighbors will be from Iraq, Syria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Congo, Bhutan, Nepal, and many other nations. It is a great training ground and a way to get your feet wet and gain experience alongside veteran missionaries before you launch out to the mission field.
