All Nations Christian College is a world-renowned mission training college. They are currently offering two courses which we would highly recommend, especially as a helpful next step for those who have already completed our free courses.


Explore

Our own course, Crossing Cultures 101 is only intended as an overview and introduction to cross-cultural training. It is available free and accessible wherever there is an internet connection! But with limited time and resources, we are only able to cover a certain amount. If you are seriously hoping to work cross-culturally, you would do well to get some more in-depth training, and that is where we would recommend the Explore course from All Nations . This thirteen-week online program is designed for those heading towards cross-cultural mission service who require training but require some flexibility in their studies.

What is it?

It consists of four three-week modules covering the following topics

  1. Who Am I?
  2. What is Mission?
  3. Culture and Living in the Community
  4. Integral Mission.

The course will provide you with a biblical foundation for your life and ministry. Examining the issues of effective teamwork and how to develop and maintain healthy relationships will also be studied. You will gain a deeper understanding of culture, current trends in mission and the effects of transition, enabling you to relate and integrate more easily across cultures.

The course material is delivered through a repeating weekly pattern of 3-5 online lessons and a forum discussion that you contribute to by the middle of each week. You will develop a sense of community and deepen your learning through commenting on each other's 'posts'. Answers to questions asked in the lessons are recorded in a downloadable weekly workbook. You will be assigned a personal online tutor who will comment on your workbooks and journey with you. You will meet as a group 2-3 times during the course via Zoom to share and encourage one another.

It runs three times annually following the academic terms, with the next one beginning in September. It costs £649 per person.
