ORIENTATION OF CANDIDATES PRE-FIELD ORIENTATION SCHEDULE 115 Pre-field preparation and orientation could last up to six months or more if the candidate attended a training institute. About two months would be the very minimum. The seven aspects highlighted can be carried out in different ways. The first, second and third - Culture and Language issues and Perspectives on World Missions - can be conducted by an institute or by attending seminars. The fourth and fifth aspects - on the Mission Agency and Family Responsibilities - could be covered through a one week Pre-field Orientation Seminar for candidates. A longer seminar can be held if other aspects need to be dealt with. The sixth aspect on Practical Logistics can be done informally by the mission agency administrators. The seventh aspect on issues related to work and ethics can be done by tentmakers through personal study. However, it would be helpful for tentmakers to discuss their study among themselves or with senior leaders. CROSS-CULTURAL TRAINING INSTITUTES It is heartening to see Third World Mission Agencies on the increase. Many of these agencies recognise the need for adequate preparation and training of their candidates. Cooperative endeavours and networking efforts in the area of missions training are also encouraging. Less duplication of effort will result if more agencies, especially newer ones, were aware of channels available for the preparation and orientation of their candidates. The formation of the Asian Cross-Cultural Training Institute (ACTI) in Singapore is an excellent example of cooperation and partnership in missions. 3 Thankfully, training in missions through formal and non-formal centres is increasingly becoming available in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Prospective mission candidates do not need to think they need to attend institutions in the West in order to be missiologically qualified and trained. The West has certainly contributed to missiological thinking and training and is continuing to influence the mission movement. However, an increasing number of African, Asian and Latin American mission leaders are grappling with their own responsibilities in missions. They are viewing important issues such as contextualisation and culture with their own eyes. Training in missions will hopefully be progressively conducted with greater sensitivity and closer to the field. 3 Visit the ACTI website for more information. < www.acti-singapore.org >
116 WHEN YOU CROSS CULTURES The call today is for even closer cooperation, collaboration and partnership in missions. There continues to be a need for experienced trainers to prepare the right candidates for missions. Not just trainers, but the best candidates to send for as our Lord said, “The labourers are few.” The church in Antioch sent the best they had for apostolic ministries. They sent Barnabas and Saul. Today, the challenge of missions is to prepare and release the best.
