Encounter

A short course that lays a foundation for the understanding and practice of cross-cultural missions in any context, home or abroad.

What is Encounter?

A short, introductory course that can be taken by studying online for 20 hours over 4 weeks, either as a group or individually. The course covers the basics of cross-cultural mission through a series of online lessons and workbooks that are commented on by a member of the All Nations training team. We encourage peer learning through a discussion forum.

Key Course Information

The course topics are built around 3 key questions:

  1. What is mission?

  2. Why get involved in cross-cultural mission?

  3. How can I work well with those from other cultural backgrounds?

There are also four cross-cutting themes that run throughout the course to help focus the learning. These are:

  1. Biblical Foundations

  2. Cultural Awareness

  3. People Skills

  4. Practical Issues
