MCC – Missionary Care Course
MCC – Missionary Care Course (Seminar)
—
God is a Missionary God, and His Kingdom has been spreading across the earth. Every missionary has a special calling to advance this work, yet those in the field face a variety of challenges and need proper care.
The MCC – Missionary Care Course exists so that missionaries may lead healthy lives and effectively minister in the field. Consider Integral Care for Missionaries as “the formal and informal efforts to develop, preserve, and restore the Kingdom’s workers for effective service” – Bruce Swanson.
We strive to provide robust support structures for teamwork, guiding continuous personal growth. Emphasis is also placed on building strong relational and support networks to nurture lasting service. We readily acknowledge that Wholeperson Care for Missionaries is still a relatively new mission for us, and we are actively seeking to expand our care teams through training, consultations, and on-site mentoring, so that across the YWAM world we are surrounded by people who prioritize caring for the missionaries themselves.
This course aims to give caregivers a comprehensive understanding of what Wholeperson Care for Missionaries truly entails. There are dozens of teachings related to the practice of caring for those to whom we send out.
In the lecture phase, students will be trained in:
- 7 Areas of Wholeperson Care
- Cultural Shock
- Reverse Cultural Shock
- Family in Missions
- Singles in Missions
- Communication between Church, Agency, and Missionary
- Development of Workers
- Fundamentals of Counseling
- Debriefing
- Among other topics
The Missionary Care Course (CIM) is a full-time program, during which students will reside at our base throughout the entire four-week lecture period.
The Integral Care for Missionaries Course (CIM) is a full-time program, during which students will reside at our base throughout the entire four-week theoretical period.
Our target audience includes those who are already involved in Member Care at YWAM or have recently developed an interest in this area; individuals whom leaders or pastors recognize as having the potential and gifts for this task; and those serving in Human Resources at Missionary Agencies, as well as pastors and directors of missions departments in churches.
However, if you wish to deepen your understanding of how to care for the people God has entrusted to you, this is the course for you.
The goal of this course is to train Providers of Wholeperson Care for Missionaries, empowering them to serve wherever the Lord has placed them.
