Why is Training Essential?

Whether you are preparing for a Short-Term Missions trip or want to know more about living on mission in your daily life, training changes everything.

  • Good intentions aren't enough. Training teaches you how to help others without accidentally causing harm.

  • For lasting change to happen, you need to learn how to work as true partners in ministry. When everyone talks and shares ideas, everyone benefits.

  • Training gives you a framework to make sense of your experiences. Without this structure, the trip's impact on team members often fades quickly.

Specialized Training for Short-Term Missions

  • Holistic

    Mission readiness means preparing intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. Your group will learn a theological framework for mission, but also explore topics of culture, poverty and more.

  • Before, During, After

    The Missions Academy not only has a pre-trip training curriculum, but provides resources for during (devotional journals), and after (re-entry guides) your mission trip.

  • Customizable

    We would love to talk to you about creating a customized online or in-person learning experience for your group. We have helped many teams find just the right blend of content, from our vast library, to meet their unique needs and context.
