MISSIONARY TRAINING RESIDENCY
We provide cross-cultural training for missionaries before going to the field.
The GoTEN Missionary Training Residency is a program designed to equip cross-cultural workers with the skills and experience they need to be successful in making disciples in a cross-cultural setting. Through a combination of class sessions, peer accountability, practical experience, and career coaching, participants will be prepared to join a missionary team serving locally or globally. Joining a team full-time is not required for training, but it is the focus of our residency program.
