Timeline

01

The Foundation

Building Foundations

Developing Vision, Character, and Core Ministry Skills

The journey begins with establishing a strong foundation for ministry. Students grow in prayerful leadership, personal vision, and evaluation skills while cultivating cross-cultural awareness. This stage emphasizes learning how to work alongside teams and partners, forming habits and perspectives that shape the rest of the program.

02

Tools For The Trade

Deepening Practice

Growing Through Context, Community, and Spiritual Formation

During the middle phase, students deepen the skills and character required for long-term ministry impact. This includes engaging their local community, understanding cultural context, strengthening theological reflection, and developing spiritual resilience. It’s a season of applying what is learned in the complexity of real ministry environments.

03

The Multiplication

Multiplying Leaders

Empowering Others and Leading with Wisdom Across Cultures

The final stage focuses on multiplication. Students learn to empower emerging leaders, communicate effectively across cultural boundaries, and maintain healthy rhythms in life and ministry. By the end of the program, graduates are equipped to lead, mentor, and reproduce disciples and leaders within their own contexts.
