21st Century Missions |
||
| The Challenge: | ||
|
To train a new wave of 200 short-term and long-term overseas missionaries to carry out church-planting responsibilities at the beginning of the new millennium. Ten Steps to Service with Christians in Action Missions in the 21st century is much different than it was fifty years ago. New technologies have made some of the tasks much easier. More often today, missionaries are being sent from the nations once considered mission fields. But why are fewer new missionaries being sent from North America? God is still calling! Could it be that churches are unable to equip people who are called for missionary service? Who will train and send a new generation of missionaries prepared to evangelize, preach and plant churches? |
||
| The Method: | ||
| Our method is to thoroughly and rapidly prepare Christians from all walks of life to be effective missionaries, and send them to gospel-starved areas around the world. CinA's dynamic Missionary Training Course (MTC) at our International Missions Center in Woodlake, California, is designed to ready a faithful Christian like you for effective, cross-cultural evangelistic ministry. | ||
| The Plan: | ||
|
We have mission fields around the world where our missionaries have been
laboring for years. We need to expand these works and reach out into new
areas. To do this it is necessary to train and send new missionaries. Where
will these new workers be found? They will come from local churches across
North America. In the Holy Scriptures we see the pattern of churches raising up future missionaries, who were given basic ministry training in their own church; then discipled by seasoned missionaries. This is the type of person we are seeking, the person who has been proven in his own church and whom the Holy Spirit is now calling as He did with the first foreign missionary, saying, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Acts 13:2 This is where you enter the MTC Program. |
||
| If you believe God is calling you into missionary service, this is your opportunity. | ||
| The Course: | ||
|
The MTC consists of several intensive instructional modules, taught
consecutively, interspersed with several workshops to add essential, but not
study-intensive skills. Subjects to be covered in the classroom include, but are not limited to, the Book of Acts as a guidebook for world evangelism, Comparative Religion, Practical Hermeneutics, The Ministry of Intercessory Prayer, Biblical Counseling, Time Management, Leadership, Support Raising, Cross Cultural Ministry and Cross Cultural Church Planting. |
||
| The Cost: | ||
|
The cost of the one-month MTC is $950 per month for individuals or $1450 per
month for couples, children extra. The cost covers all training materials,
lodging and meals. This cost must be paid in full in order for the student
to graduate. (All funds are quoted in US Dollars). Upon graduation, the student will raise his necessary financial and prayer support (including passage and landing) by presenting his proposed ministry to churches and individuals. This phase is called "deputation", and will be taught as part of the MTC program. When the proper support level is reached, and enough passage money received, the candidate may be appointed as an international missionary and released to his chosen field of ministry. |
