Many training programs focus on either the Messenger, the Community, or the Message…or a combination. CIT focuses on these as well, but we spend a good bit of time also focusing on the Receiver. Our philosophy is that you can culturally prepare the family and have a theologically sound message, but if you don’t thoroughly understand your Receiver and have a strategic plan to successfully penetrate their culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you are only partially prepared.
To that end, part of our training focuses on:
Cultural Understanding
Cultural Analysis
Exposure to your church of destination
Tools for strategic cultural entry and effective ministry
Community Care:
Community living to reinforce training
History giving and life mapping
Family friendly
CIT is a great place for families with a campus devoted to making the family’s transition to cross-cultural ministry as smooth as possible.
Place of transition
Countless participants have told us that this campus and surrounding area has been a wonderful place that God has used to prepare them for the transition to overseas living.
Rural setting
This type of location helps to provide a respite from the hustle and bustle of life which helps students to focus on why they are here.
