As a ministry of restoration, we believe that the healing process in a person's life takes place in an integral way and we also see that God in his Word calls us not only to fulfill the call of the Great Commission, but also to watch over and be the guardian of our brothers. Hence the desire and the need to begin to develop this Ministry of Member Care of the Missionary (CIM).
Once a year we offer a COURSE with a duration of one month to prepare, train and train the missionaries towards their shipment to the field. As well as equip and empower those who are already inserted in the culture of the place where they are working to have more effective and solidified lives and ministries.
This course aims to:
-
Give participants a broad notion that it becomes the Comprehensive Missionary Care and stimulate their hearts to practice it.
-
Share the heart of God in relation to this theme so important to do missions in the manner of God.
-
Deliver practical tools of what to do with the CIM, being able to adapt to the reality of each base, agency or mission field.
-
Generate preventive actions regarding the missionary life cycle.
-
To contribute so that both the one sent and the missionary are effective in fulfilling their task.
