This manual is an outgrowth of the International Missionary Trainers' Seminar held in Pasadena, California, in February 1994. The book walks educators and trainers through the path to start new ministry training programmes, as well as to strengthen existing ones. While the focus is on missionary training in non-Western countries, the underlying concepts and their application directly relate to every form of ministry training, including pastoral training and curriculum enhancement at existing schools. Guidance is provided for profiling the understandings, skills, and character qualities needed by trainees and for providing training appropriate to the trainees’ culture and sensitive to cultures in which they will serve. Examples of both missionary training profiles and missionary trainer profiles are included.
