LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Christian Missions to Nations is a unique missionary training

program committed to preparing candidates to be effective incross-cultural ministry. This catalogue gives you information

about the training program and a picture of Christian Missions

to Nations as a missionary training community. You will notice

that Christian Missions to Nations Evangelistic and Mission

School is a different kind of school. The Christian Missions to

Nations missionary training program is designed to produce

growth in every area in the life of the missionary candidate

wanting knowledge, skill and character development. This is

done through the use of a variety of training methods to broaden

the learning experience and intentionally address key concerns

and struggles which a missionary faces on the mission field.

Christian Missions to Nations is committed to addressing the

crucial training needs of Evangelists and missionaries in the 21st

century. As a training community, the missionary candidate’s

lives at Good News Missions Center are enriched cross-

culturally as they learn and interact with fellow missionary

candidates from various cultural backgrounds. They not only

share the classroom but together with the teachers and staff, eat,

work, minister, worship and live together.

May the Lord bless you richly as you seek to prepare yourself

to bring the Gospel to the unreached peoples of the world?

Yours in His service,

Evangelist Kabaso Sydney Mupukwa

INTRODUCING A UNIQUE TRAINING COMMUNITY

Christian Missions to Nations is a unique missionary training community that focuses

on equipping the whole person for service in another country or culture. The program is

structured to lead a trainee through a process that will enable him/her to face the very

real challenges of cross-cultural work. Experienced staff members offer mentoring,

guidance and counsel all along the way. Understanding is created through carefully

designed study modules. Skills that are essential to the missionary vocation are also

developed through practice and hands-on experiences. A well structured and

supervised field internship produces maximum learning in a context similar to the onethe trainee hopes to serve in Christian Missions to Nations.

Study Centre

Trainees spend their first months at the good News Mission House centres in beautiful.

Kabwe in the Central Zambia. They work through modules that are designed to

produce a foundational understanding of the rationale and strategy of missions, inter-

personal relations, team dynamics, missiology, cross-cultural adaptation,

communications, and language skills.

Trainees move from the context of a caring, learning community, to an active cross-cultural

experience and then back again to Christian Missions to Nations where they are debriefed in order

to promote the greatest growth and understanding. Most trainees will be "field ready" when they

complete the course. Those who need extra time or preparation will be well aware of the areas they

need to work on. Christian Missions to Nations staff monitors the entire process and assists the

candidate to chart a course for successful service.



5

Growing in these key areas of understanding, attitude and skill development is the

essential core of pre-field preparation. Modules covering cross cultural evangelism and

church planting also have extensive hands-on experience that brings theory into the

realm of practicality. Courses in Bible are also offered in partnership with othercolleges.

Hands-on Training

Once the initial residential component is

finished the trainee travels to exciting and

challenging internship opportunities that are

tailored to meet their geographical and service

interests. This is not a typical short term

missions experience — it is well organized and

complete learning package. Major portion of

the time is dedicated to language and culture

learning, utilizing skills that have been

developed and practiced during their first

months at Christian Missions to Nations

Missionary Center.

A Caring Learning Community Christian

Missions to Nations has a great mix of people

Missionaries in training are invited to join

permanent residential staff and visiting

missionary trainers. Trainee come from different

countries and this multicultural component is

helpful in learning the art of appreciation of other

cultures. The supportive relation environment

helps build strong and enduring foundations that

will hold up to the stresses of cross-cultural

service.

Life in Christian Missions to Nations "intentional

community" builds faith, character, determination

and other important attitudes necessary to

missionary success.

Who should come to Christian Missions to Nations Missionary Center?

Christian Missions to Nations will appeal to the committed evangelical Christian who

senses God's hand on his or her life for overseas ministry. It takes work and dedication

to turn that calling into effective field service. Mission agencies can't always provideadequate training, orientation and personal attention to help a potential candidate get

to the field. Many who feel called don't have formal Bible training and don't feel they

can afford to spend years in a Bible school before getting to the field. Christian Missions

to Nations will help them meet the agency's requirement for Bible studies in an efficient,

low -cost manner with the option of studying while on the field. Others do have the

Bible training and/or are well grounded in their knowledge and use of Scripture but

lack the cross-cultural and missiological understanding they need to succeed. ChristianMissions to the Nations specialized focus on practical cross-cultural training will help

those candidates get there, stay there, and be effective. If they stay there, we must help

them - Be Effective!

If God has calledthem,

then we must help

them

-Get There

!

Thousands of sincere Christians have felt a tug

on their heart to serve God in some cross-

cultural capacity. Doubts, fears and life

circumstances seem to overwhelm the

impulse. They don't find the encouragement

or guidance necessary to grow that calling into

a vocation. Christian Missions to Nations is

committee to standing with, encouraging and

training those with a calling to fulfill the will

of God for their lives.

But we are well aware of the fact that getting

to the field isn't enough. There are two even

greater challenges: staying there and being

effective.



7

If they stay there, we must help them - Be Effective!

Through good training, stubbornness or perseverance, many missionaries do manage to

stay on the field. But how many are really effective?

Only effective people make effective missionaries and Christian Missions to Nations

holistic training focuses on the whole person. Starting out with the right attitude and

commitment to language learning and cultural adaptation are indispensable. And

working with others in a loving way that recognizes and appreciates differences in eachother is the other key factor that will determine effectiveness Christian Missions to

Nations builds these attitudes and provides missionary candidates with the skills

needed to succeed.



8

Who benefits when a missionary candidate comes to Christian Missions to Nations?

Churches –Communities – Institutions.

Missionary sending churches benefit by receiving realistic appraisals of a candidate'

suitability for overseas service. When the church sends their missionary candidate to

Christian Missions to Nations , the feedback and evaluative report that they receive will

assist the church in making responsible decisions. Don't assume that the mission agency

does this work. If a missionary fails, it is that missionary and the sending church that

ultimately pay the price of failure on the field.

Christian Missions to Nations exists to help missionary candidates get there, stay there

and be effective! We assist evangelical and Pentecostal churches, denominations and

missionary agencies by training their candidates to be effective cross-cultural

missionaries. We cooperate with other training institutions to provide pre-field training,

guided internship programs and continuing education opportunities. We know we

have accomplished our objective when our alumni get to their field, successfully adaptto their new context and make positive contributions to evangelism and growth of the

Church, community and institutions. This is mainly as the result of the training that

will provide to our students that includes both bible, and Community work. Social

work components has made it more effective for our missionaries to be effective in the

mission field in that they will address spiritual and social problems at the same time.

Missionary Agencies

Missionary agencies have long understood the need for whole person training but are

concerned about the costs in terms of time and finances. It is hard enough to get a

candidate through the long and expensive path of Bible school and seminary (a

common requirement that has in itself quelled the initiative of thousands of potential

candidates). Christian Missions to Nations is eager to partner with missions agencies to

address the problem of a dwindling pool of available recruits. Christian Missions to

Nations offers a different kind of a program, one that addresses the need for Bible

knowledge and discipleship while also addressing the core curriculum in missionary

pre-field training that leads to a successful mission’s career. We work with you in

cultivating an active relationship with the potential candidate while giving them solid

training that will help them stick with the agency over the years.

Our Commitments

We believe we can best achieve our training objectives by:

1. Living together as a multi-cultural learning community committed to the

development of interpersonal relationship skills and the cultivation of personal and

spiritual growth.

2. Providing classroom instruction by seasoned missionaries and other experienced

practitioners.



10

3. Providing practical service opportunities amongst the diverse ethnic communities

found in the mission field.

4. Facilitating successful internship and apprenticeship programs for candidates serving

with evangelical mission agencies.Programs

Training Components

Mentoring

During their course, each trainee is assigned a staff mentor. This one-on-one

relationship affords each trainee an excellent opportunity to learn directly from an

experienced missionary. Trainees can expect that they will be guided through the

design of the internship, supported in their studies, challenged in their character and

encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. The mentoring experience at

Christian Missions to Nations is a crucial component from beginning to end. This is one

reason we limit the enrolment at Christian Missions to Nations.

The goal of training at Christian Missions to Nations is to prepare people for cross-

cultural ministry. Adapting to a new culture, learning a language, communicating

cross-culturally, and developing a ministry in a different culture require the

development of specific skills. This requires practice in real life contexts. The Christian

Missions to Nations internship is a structured learning experience that intentionally

develops needed skills to be successful as a missionary. This cross-cultural internship

experience can be done in Africa in the following countries, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania,Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland or abroad and is individually

structured to meet the learning objectives of the trainee. This component is for 90 days
