Missionary Training School is a five-month, intensive program designed to prepare individuals with the head knowledge, heart character, and hands-on experience to make them effective in cross-cultural ministry locally or overseas.

Hear from Thomas and Kelsey, Missionary Training School (MTS) alumni, as they share their experience!

THOMAS:

I had graduated from seminary with a Masters of Divinity, spent about 10 years in full-time ministry, and lived overseas for about a year. In all of that, I really only felt equipped to minister to other people from my own culture.

I was really impressed by how helpful and impactful Missionary Training School was; the classes, discussions, and time spent serving in the refugee community helped equip me to share the truth of the Kingdom of God with all people.

I wanted to learn how to minister cross-culturally. I wanted to grow in my ability to be Christ to those who don’t have the same background, assumptions, and understandings that I did as an American. At the time, I thought this training would help me review some of these things. Then, the Lord humbled a bit more as I came to learn the Kingdom is the same, the Gospel is the same, but there are so many different skillsets to share the love of Jesus with those around us.
