Are you interested in a better understanding of integrated mission? Wondering what to do with your desire to cross cultures and serve God amongst the marginalised and disadvantaged? Open to give a few months, a year, or more to let Jesus reshape your destiny? Have some professional or life skill to contribute into the mix? Then eXplore is for you!
During this one day, interactive workshop we unpack some of our understanding of integrated mission; we explore topics such as getting ready to go, what is culture, and culture shock, and how to approach contextualisation; we look at the place of professionals in mission, and what business has to do with God’s kingdom; and hear first-hand experiences from people who are serving in mission in Asia and the Arab World.
All of this happens in a relaxed setting, and with a bunch of like-minded, friendly people; we share a great, ethnic lunch experience – and plenty of good coffee! And, no, there is no pressure to sign up for anything, so come along and bring a friend or two! Contact us to register today.
