Engage with new cultures with Cross-Cultural Ministry course
In recent decades, we have lived through a significant shift in the ethnic mix of our society, and we now have a new mission field right in our own backyards.
Cross-Cultural Ministry has teamed up with Australian Lutheran College to offer an online training course for those who want to engage with people of these new cultures.
The course is self-paced and geared for individuals or groups. The topics deliberately address the ‘how-to’ questions of cross-cultural ministry to boost your confidence to start conversations.
The seven training topics can be completed in about 20 hours and cover subjects like:
- Our biblical mandate to reach out to the nations
- Who are these ethnic newcomers, and how do they tick?
- How can we respond as individuals to make new friends?
- Ways to be a congregation that welcomes people from many backgrounds.
The Cross-Cultural Ministry Training Course is free of charge to anyone enrolling in 2023.
