Field-environment Intensive Training
- Called to the nations to proclaim His name?
- Confirmed in that calling by the leaders and members of your home church?
- Confident that God will show His care through them and others as you step
out in faith?
Conscious of the fact that you might make a greater impact for His
kingdom with a bit more specific preparation for missions work then you’ve
received thus far?
If so, then perhaps our Field-environment Intensive Training (FIT) might
be a good choice as the final preparation step of your journey to the field He
has called you to work in. This extreme and extensive course of preparation was
designed specifically for those whom God has called to serve Him in the foreign
mission field and will be departing for the field within a few months after
completing our program. In a sense, this two and a half week time of preparation
is for those “in the chute”, who have their home church leadership, along with
friends and family behind them and the imminent departure for the field in front
of them. If that’s you, then:
Consider the value of being equipped in the eight key areas that
every serious missionary encounters once on the field, and thus should be
prepared for:
- Relational skills
- Leadership skills
- Administrative skills
- Personal Health
- Practical Ministry skills
- Cross-cultural skills
- Family relationships
- Church relationships
Consider receiving this instruction from experienced, field-tested
missionaries such as:
- Pastor Jeff Jackson, former missionary and church planter in Cebu City,
Philippines.
- Pastor Trip Kimball, founding and former senior pastor of Calvary Chapel
of Joshua Springs and who has recently returned from more than 15 years of
service in the Philippines. Kimball founded and was the director of the Calvary
Chapel Training Center in the Philippines. Kimball still plays an active role as
director of
Rainbow Village Ministries
, also in the Philippines.
- Pastor Jeff Fadness, current senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of
Pocatello, Idaho, and former missionary-church planter for more than 12 years in
the former Soviet Union.
And other missions minded and experienced pastors and teachers...and all of this
in a "missions" environment...the greater Tijuana, Mexico, area, just minutes
south of San Diego, California.
Consider having finished the classroom teaching just before lunch
each day and then after lunch, experiencing firsthand a variety of actual
ministries taking place in this busy metro area of almost 3 million people.
Almost any type of ministry taking place in any developing nation around the
world is taking place in this city. Observe, participate, ask questions, plot a
strategy for your future ministry with the leaders of these ministries, many of
which are missionaries, just like you’ll be.
Consider spending 3 full days and nights living with a Mexican
family! The relationships you’ll build, the culture shock you’ll experience, the
greater depth of intimacy and dependence on the Lord this week will produce will
be unforgettable. This is an immersion experience that will be life changing,
for you, your family, and the Mexican family you have lived with!
