Welcome
Welcome to the online training component of your Peru 2017 mission. This training was developed to assist your team in preparing to go and serve in Peru in 2010. We hope you learn and grow as you prepare for the mission to which God has called you... to share the love of Christ with the people of Peru and to bring the cross of Jesus within arm's reach of everyone you encounter.
Goals and Expectations
Our goals for you are:
Our expectations for this training are:
During our sessions, you will:
- for you to be as prepared as possible for the mission God has called you to in Peru
- to help you to obtain a better understanding of what our mission and ministries are in Peru and how you "fit"
- to help you make as few cultural "mistakes" as possible during your mission
- and to help you build important relationships while in Peru... with your teammates, with other Peruvians, and with God.
Our expectations for this training are:
- That you attend all 5 online sessions. We suggest that you work on one per week during the 5-6 weeks before you arrive.
- You need to read and consider all of the devotional entries. There are 5 devotional readings per week. The devotionals are NOT "extras"... they are an integral part of the training and they have been written and designed to work in conjunction with each weekly training session.
- We STRONGLY suggest/recommend/beg that your team meet together several times and discuss these training sessions. Not only is it important to your team building / bonding / relationship experience, but it is very important that your team begins to pray together and build each other up in preparation and support of the mission ahead.
During our sessions, you will:
- take polls
- give opinions
- watch videos and slideshows
- compare culture in the USA and Peru
- learn and prepare
- complete small homework assignments
- focus on God and his call to you
- pray for each other and for the Peruvians you will serve
- HAVE FUN!
