MoM's recognises the value of proper preparation for missions, Immersion or Exposure program participants. Partner communities, participants and experienced sending agencies recognise that these experiences can vary widely. Ministry of Mission has developed a course to best prepare short-term cross-cultural travellers to best understand their journey and engage fully during their short-time.
Including many of the best sessions from our longer Orientation Course, MoM' Mission Course serves to prepare participants or leaders travelling across cultures for a short time (up to three months). Dealing with topics such as culture shock, understanding different perspectives and de-briefing techniques, as well as an introduction to the developmental context in which many programs occur, this course is recommended for schools, congregations, businesses, clubs or other community groups which are considering sending people to experience life in another culture.
Mission preparation participants will get to learn along-side volunteers going for longer periods and gain perspective of the international partnership for development which MoM and other agencies are part of.
This course is not to be missed.
