Training
Probably the most important yet most overlooked aspect of short term missions is team training before going to the mission field. We have found that a well prepared team is more effective in their work, as well as being a better witness for Christ to the people that they are serving. Training should include spiritual preparation, prayer, cultural education and sensitivity, preparing and sharing your personal testimony, team building, and devotionals.
The Mission Society Peru Team has developed a 5 week mandatory training that covers cultural education and sensitivity, spiritual preparation, prayer, preparing and sharing your testimony and devotionals. This course does not address team building and therefore team building should be handled by each team individually. The training module is located online at www.perutraining.weebly.com . The module contains online reading, video and audio clips, devotionals, and weekly study guides. It also includes links and downloadable lessons for Kid’s Clubs. This training is mandatory for all teams serving in Peru.
The Mission Society can provide additional training through our Equipping Short-Term Mission Leaders Workshop. Please visit http://www.themissionsociety.org/go/equipping for more information. There are also a number of books available that we can suggest for your team to read and study before coming to Peru.
