LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Christian Missions to Nations is a unique missionary training
program committed to preparing candidates to be effective incross-cultural ministry. This catalogue gives you information
about the training program and a picture of Christian Missions
to Nations as a missionary training community. You will notice
that Christian Missions to Nations Evangelistic and Mission
School is a different kind of school. The Christian Missions to
Nations missionary training program is designed to produce
growth in every area in the life of the missionary candidate
wanting knowledge, skill and character development. This is
done through the use of a variety of training methods to broaden
the learning experience and intentionally address key concerns
and struggles which a missionary faces on the mission field.
Christian Missions to Nations is committed to addressing the
crucial training needs of Evangelists and missionaries in the 21st
century. As a training community, the missionary candidate’s
lives at Good News Missions Center are enriched cross-
culturally as they learn and interact with fellow missionary
candidates from various cultural backgrounds. They not only
share the classroom but together with the teachers and staff, eat,
work, minister, worship and live together.
May the Lord bless you richly as you seek to prepare yourself
to bring the Gospel to the unreached peoples of the world?
Yours in His service,
Evangelist Kabaso Sydney Mupukwa

INTRODUCING A UNIQUE TRAINING COMMUNITY
Christian Missions to Nations is a unique missionary training community that focuses
on equipping the whole person for service in another country or culture. The program is
structured to lead a trainee through a process that will enable him/her to face the very
real challenges of cross-cultural work. Experienced staff members offer mentoring,
guidance and counsel all along the way. Understanding is created through carefully
designed study modules. Skills that are essential to the missionary vocation are also
developed through practice and hands-on experiences. A well structured and
supervised field internship produces maximum learning in a context similar to the onethe trainee hopes to serve in Christian Missions to Nations.

Study Centre
Trainees spend their first months at the good News Mission House centres in beautiful.
Kabwe in the Central Zambia. They work through modules that are designed to
produce a foundational understanding of the rationale and strategy of missions, inter-
personal relations, team dynamics, missiology, cross-cultural adaptation,
communications, and language skills.
Trainees move from the context of a caring, learning community, to an active cross-cultural
experience and then back again to Christian Missions to Nations where they are debriefed in order
to promote the greatest growth and understanding. Most trainees will be "field ready" when they
complete the course. Those who need extra time or preparation will be well aware of the areas they
need to work on. Christian Missions to Nations staff monitors the entire process and assists the
candidate to chart a course for successful service.

Growing in these key areas of understanding, attitude and skill development is the
essential core of pre-field preparation. Modules covering cross cultural evangelism and
church planting also have extensive hands-on experience that brings theory into the
realm of practicality. Courses in Bible are also offered in partnership with othercolleges.
Hands-on Training
Once the initial residential component is
finished the trainee travels to exciting and
challenging internship opportunities that are
tailored to meet their geographical and service
interests. This is not a typical short term
missions experience — it is well organized and
complete learning package. Major portion of
the time is dedicated to language and culture
learning, utilizing skills that have been
developed and practiced during their first
months at Christian Missions to Nations
Missionary Center.
A Caring Learning Community Christian
Missions to Nations has a great mix of people
Missionaries in training are invited to join
permanent residential staff and visiting
missionary trainers. Trainee come from different
countries and this multicultural component is
helpful in learning the art of appreciation of other
cultures. The supportive relation environment
helps build strong and enduring foundations that
will hold up to the stresses of cross-cultural
service.
Life in Christian Missions to Nations "intentional
community" builds faith, character, determination
and other important attitudes necessary to
missionary success.

Who should come to Christian Missions to Nations Missionary Center?
Christian Missions to Nations will appeal to the committed evangelical Christian who
senses God's hand on his or her life for overseas ministry. It takes work and dedication
to turn that calling into effective field service. Mission agencies can't always provideadequate training, orientation and personal attention to help a potential candidate get
to the field. Many who feel called don't have formal Bible training and don't feel they
can afford to spend years in a Bible school before getting to the field. Christian Missions
to Nations will help them meet the agency's requirement for Bible studies in an efficient,
low -cost manner with the option of studying while on the field. Others do have the
Bible training and/or are well grounded in their knowledge and use of Scripture but
lack the cross-cultural and missiological understanding they need to succeed. ChristianMissions to the Nations specialized focus on practical cross-cultural training will help
those candidates get there, stay there, and be effective. If they stay there, we must help
them - Be Effective!
If God has calledthem,
then we must help
them
-Get There
!
Thousands of sincere Christians have felt a tug
on their heart to serve God in some cross-
cultural capacity. Doubts, fears and life
circumstances seem to overwhelm the
impulse. They don't find the encouragement
or guidance necessary to grow that calling into
a vocation. Christian Missions to Nations is
committee to standing with, encouraging and
training those with a calling to fulfill the will
of God for their lives.
But we are well aware of the fact that getting
to the field isn't enough. There are two even
greater challenges: staying there and being
effective.

If they stay there, we must help them - Be Effective!
Through good training, stubbornness or perseverance, many missionaries do manage to
stay on the field. But how many are really effective?
Only effective people make effective missionaries and Christian Missions to Nations
holistic training focuses on the whole person. Starting out with the right attitude and
commitment to language learning and cultural adaptation are indispensable. And
working with others in a loving way that recognizes and appreciates differences in eachother is the other key factor that will determine effectiveness Christian Missions to
Nations builds these attitudes and provides missionary candidates with the skills
needed to succeed.

Who benefits when a missionary candidate comes to Christian Missions to Nations?
Churches –Communities – Institutions.
Missionary sending churches benefit by receiving realistic appraisals of a candidate'
suitability for overseas service. When the church sends their missionary candidate to
Christian Missions to Nations , the feedback and evaluative report that they receive will
assist the church in making responsible decisions. Don't assume that the mission agency
does this work. If a missionary fails, it is that missionary and the sending church that
ultimately pay the price of failure on the field.
Christian Missions to Nations exists to help missionary candidates get there, stay there
and be effective! We assist evangelical and Pentecostal churches, denominations and
missionary agencies by training their candidates to be effective cross-cultural
missionaries. We cooperate with other training institutions to provide pre-field training,
guided internship programs and continuing education opportunities. We know we
have accomplished our objective when our alumni get to their field, successfully adaptto their new context and make positive contributions to evangelism and growth of the
Church, community and institutions. This is mainly as the result of the training that
will provide to our students that includes both bible, and Community work. Social

work components has made it more effective for our missionaries to be effective in the
mission field in that they will address spiritual and social problems at the same time.
Missionary Agencies
Missionary agencies have long understood the need for whole person training but are
concerned about the costs in terms of time and finances. It is hard enough to get a
candidate through the long and expensive path of Bible school and seminary (a
common requirement that has in itself quelled the initiative of thousands of potential
candidates). Christian Missions to Nations is eager to partner with missions agencies to
address the problem of a dwindling pool of available recruits. Christian Missions to
Nations offers a different kind of a program, one that addresses the need for Bible
knowledge and discipleship while also addressing the core curriculum in missionary
pre-field training that leads to a successful mission’s career. We work with you in
cultivating an active relationship with the potential candidate while giving them solid
training that will help them stick with the agency over the years.
Our Commitments
We believe we can best achieve our training objectives by:
1. Living together as a multi-cultural learning community committed to the
development of interpersonal relationship skills and the cultivation of personal and
spiritual growth.
2. Providing classroom instruction by seasoned missionaries and other experienced
practitioners.

Training Components
Mentoring
During their course, each trainee is assigned a staff mentor. This one-on-one
relationship affords each trainee an excellent opportunity to learn directly from an
experienced missionary. Trainees can expect that they will be guided through the
design of the internship, supported in their studies, challenged in their character and
encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. The mentoring experience at
Christian Missions to Nations is a crucial component from beginning to end. This is one
reason we limit the enrolment at Christian Missions to Nations.
The goal of training at Christian Missions to Nations is to prepare people for cross-
cultural ministry. Adapting to a new culture, learning a language, communicating
cross-culturally, and developing a ministry in a different culture require the
development of specific skills. This requires practice in real life contexts. The Christian
Missions to Nations internship is a structured learning experience that intentionally
develops needed skills to be successful as a missionary. This cross-cultural internship
experience can be done in Africa in the following countries, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania,Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland or abroad and is individually
structured to meet the learning objectives of the trainee. This component is for 90 days
but students can make arrangements to stay longer
