Courses

Our courses are created by experienced fieldworkers who want to offer what they have learned (sometimes the hard way!) to anybody with a heart to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. You can take a course at your own pace, or you might want to join a cohort and learn with others for a deeper experience.

Know Thyself

This course explores the concept of understanding ourselves within the context of our own cultures. Before delving into how we adapt to other cultures, it is crucial to recognize the barriers and obstacles we inadvertently create for ourselves.

I really appreciate what was shared in this class, which enlightens and inspires!

The Antioch Factor

Ross Paterson presents a stark choice that no Christian or church can avoid making – whether we become a Jerusalem church or Antioch Church. Ross unpacks what that means and its critical importance from the events of the early church in Acts. Why did Paul find Jesus in Damascus, not in Jerusalem? Why was Paul sent out with Barnabas from Antioch, not from Jerusalem?

That was excellent and very insightful… I need to think on this more, a lot more! So much to take in and think over in this module. This should be part of all church discipleship programmes.
