Visiting with a veteran missionary recently, the
discussion turned to missionary training.
He asked me why I didn’t do more training with N. Americans. My answer was that I didn’t believe
there was a “market” for cross-cultural training. Neither sending churches, pastors or missionaries are
interested in training, I argued.
They might believe it would be helpful, but not necessarily support
training. He disagreed. So, I thought I would put out this
survey. It’s completely anonymous
so, if you’re so inclined, help me out.
Is my friend right, that there is a need for N. Am. pre-field missionary
training or not?
I will post the results later.
