Your gifts and abilities, your personality and/or God’s specific instructions make up your calling. By having a personal conversation with you, we can help you best discover and understand how God may be leading you to serve.
We will look at your calling with you, examining together how to best live out your calling on the mission field. We’ll show you how we prepare you for your ministry, and how we can accompany and support you in it.
Before sending you out, we prepare you through practical courses, all of which help you to get ready to serve in mission ministry. In your first year of ministry you participate in courses that help you to establish your life in a new cross-cultural environment and to thrive in your new ministry.
The Qualification Course contains four main elements:
In addition to the Qualification Course, there are country-specific training courses that are also available for team members, depending on the topic. In this way we can regularly learn from and with each other.
We are convinced that you need a sending church as a support base, a church to stand behind your missionary ministry, supporting you in prayer and with finances.
We will help you by helping your church to establish a plan for ministering to you as a missionary, including sending you out properly.
We help you with every concern you’re facing. We coach you in strategic and methodological decisions. And we watch with you for ways to bring you along in your service.
In addition, there is a seminar every month on various topics to enable you to develop further during your ministy. The seminars cover personal-spiritual, administrative and missiological areas as well as leadership topics amongst other.
Following the annual Mission Conference in Wuestenrot a multi-day retreat for all team members takes place. Share with other missionaries for three days, be trained, take a deep breath and recharge your batteries – an important milestone in the mission year!
