Description

Training for Cross-Cultural Mission is a comprehensive guide to preparing individuals for cross-cultural ministry. Robert Brynjolfson's research reveals diverse approaches to equipping missionaries, highlighting the importance of understanding local contexts and developing training programs that cater to these realities. Effective training requires a holistic approach, engaging both knowledge, character, and skills. The book emphasizes the role of the trainer as a mentor and model, and provides thoughtful criteria for selecting trainees. Brynjolfson also identifies key hallmarks of effective training, including spiritual formation, ministry competence, emotional maturity, and contextual adaptability. By considering these factors, trainers can create programs that foster holistic equipping and ongoing assessment, ensuring that trainees are well-prepared for their roles in cross-cultural mission.
