A Sample Day of Missions Boot Camp Training
The following is an example of intensive pre-missions
training that you may want to adapt to your group and
situation. This is an example of what one day could
look like. Normally these types of training venues
can go for two to four days. They can also be done
with multiple teams at once. The overall objective is
excellence: giving students ministry tools, focusing
on attitudes, preparedness and unity. In order to be a
blessing (and not a burden) to the receiving missionaries
and countries, it’s advisable to stretch and challenge
our teams prior to going. Issues and interpersonal
conflicts are normal. However, if we can learn
to deal with them before getting on a plane, it will be
to everyone’s advantage.
