Download or read book Training Missionaries written by Evelyn Hibbert and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missionaries must know God, be able to relate well to other people, understand and engage with another culture, and be able to use the Bible in a way that informs all aspects of their lives and ministries. Missionary training must address each of these areas if it is to help Christians to be effective in taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. Effective training has been shown to prevent people from prematurely leaving the field. It also reduces the danger of cross-cultural workers uncritically exporting culturally bound forms of Christianity. This book details four key areas that every missionary training program, whatever its context, must focus on developing. It shows how these can be holistically addressed in a learning community where trainers and trainees engage in cross-cultural ministry together.

Download or read book Church Planting Movements written by V. David Garrison and published by WIGTake Resources. This book was released on 2007 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Garrison, PhD University of Chicago, defines Church Planting Movements as rapidly multiplying indigenous churches planting churches that sweep across a people group or population segment. Garrison's Church Planting Movements: How God Is Redeeming a Lost World signaled a breakthrough in missionary church planting. After the publication of Garrison's book in 2004 it became impossible to talk about missions without referencing Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements examines more than two-dozen movements of multiplying churches on five continents. After presenting these case studies, Garrison identifies ten universal elements present in each movement. He then broadens the circle of examination to identify a further ten common characteristics, factors identified in most, but not all, of the movements. He concludes his examination with a list of "Seven Deadly Sins," i.e. harmful practices that stifle or impede Church Planting Movements. Important for evangelical readers, the author returns to his findings to see how they stand up to the light of Scripture. What he discovers is that Church Planting Movements are much more consistent with the New Testament lay-led house-church movements that swept rapidly through the Mediterranean world in the face of hostile opposition than today's more sedentary professional institutionalized Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weighing Approaches to Finish the Task Christians have been reflecting on best practices for as long as they have been engaging in missions. Practitioners have developed diverse strategies to promote the spread of the Gospel—such as indigenous church planting, disciple-making movements, community development, dynamically equivalent Bible translations, and chronological Bible storytelling. These models began as creative analyses of the mission endeavor, in light of the current cultural context. As that context shifts, it is also important to critically re-examine these models. Advancing Models of Mission reflects on the missionaries and models of the past and reconsiders current models, all with the aim of looking toward the future of evangelical mission. This compendium of thirteen essays tackles such timely and difficult questions as: -How does globalization challenge the 10/40 window model? -How does hybridity and diaspora change the way we think about people groupsand identity formation? -How does the colonial history in Africa affect believers' connection with globalevangelism? Readers can learn about the contexts of the past that shaped our current missiological models while listening to diverse voices describe how those models are experienced considering our changing realities. Through honest analysis of the past few centuries of missionary movement, Advancing Models of Mission provides hope for the future.

This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, , course: Post graduate Diploma in Theology and Missions, language: English, abstract: The research paper focuses on the research training process for cross-cultural missionaries, emphasizing the optimal timing and implications for long-term effectiveness in cross-cultural missionary ministry. The central aim is to prompt readers to critically examine and comprehend the significance of integrating a research training program into missionary training, exploring the implications for fostering long-term success in cross-cultural ministry. The paper aims to pinpoint the most effective timing within a missionary training program to introduce research training, ensuring its maximum impact on cross-cultural missionaries. Delving into the implications of incorporating research training, the research explores how this process influences the long-term effectiveness of cross-cultural missionary ministry. Engaging with individuals from diverse cultures demands heightened sensitivity and concerted efforts to navigate potential misunderstandings arising from differences in language, cultural norms, and religion. The complexity of cross-cultural interactions necessitates specialized training to equip missionaries with the necessary skills for effective engagement. Training institutions bear a significant responsibility in cultivating the capacity of missionaries to respond appropriately to the diversity present in the societies they serve. A fundamental aspect of this responsibility is to develop strategies that contribute to successful intercultural interactions globally. The research paper underscores the importance of educators in offering solutions to challenges linked to unsuccessful intercultural engagements and emphasizes the urgency of creating effective intercultural and research training programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes a contextualized instructional design process based on key missionary-training practices that helps Beautiful Feet missionaries grow in their ministry of making disciples. The issue prompting the study was a misalignment between the current missionary-training process of Beautiful Feet and its vision and mission statements. Part I offers a precedent literature review. First, is the argument that the ministry of making disciples is a critical element of faithfulness in missionaries. Second, from an exploration of the modern Protestant missionary movement, Enoch Wan and Mark Hedinger’s paradigm of relational realism is presented as a framework for missionary-training practices. Third, from an examination of two key instructional design models, adult learning, and dialogue education, the argument is made for Jane Vella, Paula Berardinelli, and Jim Burrow’s accountability process of learning, transfer, and impact as a framework for evaluating Beautiful Feet’s missionary training. Vella’s twelve principles for effective adult learning are also presented as a framework for a missionary-training process design, and her eight design steps are presented as a framework for designing a specific training module. In part II is a presentation of what was learned through carefully designed case studies about how the design and emphasis of missionary training impacts the ministry of making disciples. From semi-structured interviews, content analysis, and participant observation, the collected data suggests a primary finding that Beautiful Feet’s existing missionary-training process is heavily front-loaded, resulting in limited learning, transfer, and impact. Part III presents a change plan for a training process designed to help Beautiful Feet missionaries grow in their ministry of making disciples. First, is an analysis of the leadership context of Beautiful Feet that informs the adoption of the steward-leadership model. Next, is a description of a three-phase change plan that outlines a newly designed missionary-training process for Beautiful Feet. Finally, the findings are discussed from a post-evaluation of phase one. Concluding thoughts offer ways this study could be useful for others, listing several suggestions for further research and briefly highlighting anticipated outcomes.
