Missions & Cultural Studies
Great strides are being made to reach every nation with the Gospel. You
can be a part of the vast harvest of souls that is taking place in the
earth right now!
Every
believer has a missionary calling. Jesus spoke to all of His disciples,
commissioning them to "Go into all the world." The challenges of
tomorrow's world demand a new breed of Christian missionaries. Elim's
one-year Missions and Cultural Studies Program can help you gain a
fresh vision and new zeal . . . and be equipped as a member in God's
anointed army, "come to the Kingdom for such a time as this."
Through the
Missions and Cultural Studies Program, you can receive practical
training for the challenges of cross-cultural ministry. Taught by
seasoned missionaries with years of successful, on-the-field ministry
experience, the courses in this program will equip you to share the
Gospel effectively.
- Sharing the Gospel with unreached people groups
- How to work with the indigenous church
- Tentmakers (missionaries who do "covert"
missionary work while posing as tour guides, business people, etc.)
- How to raise support
- Keeping healthy on the mission field
-
Cults and world religions
- Muslim Ministry
- Cultures and customs
- Record-keeping
- Meal preparation
- Basic automobile maintenance and repair
To compliment
your training, Elim offers a course titled Teaching English to Speakers
of Other Languages (TESOL). As English becomes a "second language" for
many of the peoples of the world, this course will provide you with a
powerful evangelistic tool.
The one-year
Missions and Cultural Studies Program is open to men and women who
sense that the Lord may be leading them to the mission field, and for
those who are determined to become missionaries and have the
endorsement of their home church or a mission sending agency.
