MISSIONARY TRAINING
IT'S A THREE STEP PROCESS
FIRST- AN INTERVIEW= WE WOULD LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOUR INTERESTS, BACKGROUND AND CURRENT LEVEL OF PREPAREDNESS. A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM YOUR  SPIRITUAL LEADERS WOULD HELP.

SECOND- A MISSION TRIP= YOU WILL BE INVITED TO GO ON SOME MISSION TRIPS WITH SEASONED MISSIONARY MENTORS,        WHERE YOU WILL EXPERIENCE FIRST HAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A MISSIONARY IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOCATIONS. YOUR MENTOR WILL PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR TRIP AND GUIDE YOU THROUGH EACH STEP OF THE JOURNEY. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE PEOPLE AND CULTURES OF ANCIENT OR EXOTIC LANDS. YOU WILL LEARN WHAT THEIR NEEDS AND STRUGGLES ARE. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO REACH THEM WITH SEVERAL TOOLS OF EVANGELISM AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. THEY WILL BE CHANGED BY KNOWING YOU AND YOU WILL BE CHANGED BY KNOWING THEM. BY THE END OF THE  TRIPS YOU WILL KNOW WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO SERVE. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY ONLY YOUR OWN EXPENSES FOR EACH TRIP, WHICH YOU WILL FUND BY ASKING FOR SPONSORSHIP FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW. 
 
THIRD- COMPLETE AN ONLINE COURSE=  OUR TRAINING INCLUDES:
THEOLOGICAL TRAINING THROUGH THE ENTIRE BIBLE, SPANISH LANGUAGE LEARNING GUIDANCE AND PRACTICE, UNDERSTANDING NATIVE CULTURE, CROSS-CULTURE GOSPEL PRESENTATION AND DISCIPLESHIP, MINISTRY BUDGET AND TRIP PLANNING, MANAGING RELATIONSHIPS IN MINISTRY BOTH AT HOME AND IN THE FIELD.
