Afrique du Nord et Europe: Ecole pour la Mission Pionnière (EMP)
|
|
| Description
Dates: Du 11 septembre au 7 décembre 2013
QU'EST CE QU'UNE EMP? L'EMP est le tremplin idéal pour rentrer dans un ministère inter-culturel fructueux parmi les peuples non atteints. Le but de l'école est de vous donner les compétences nécessaires au ministère en tant que membre d'une équipe centrée sur l'implantation d'églises parmi les moins atteints: incluant culture et apprentissage d'une langue, implantation d'églises, stratégies pour la mission, relation d'équipe, soulever et maintenir un réseau de soutien. Les compétences acquises durant ces 3 mois de classes seront développées au cours d'une mission ultérieure sur le terrain - initialement pour 3 mois. L'EMP se concentre sur les groupes non atteints parmi les musulmans. L'Ecole de Formation de Disciple (EFD) de JEM est prérequise.
POURQUOI CETTE ÉCOLE EST-ELLE SPÉCIALE? Elle se concentre sur la préparation d'ouvriers pour le long terme en Afrique du Nord et des communautés musulmanes de villes d'Europe. Vous serez formés à l'utilisation des dernières méthodes utiles pour servir et se rapprocher des Musulmans. Nous prions pour que les étudiants s'associent durant l'école afin d'être envoyés par la suite ensemble sur le terrain avec un coaching continu durant la première mission sur le terrain.
Les animateurs sont bi-lingue Anglais-Français.
