Überblick
Thanks to its strategic position on the Strait of Gibraltar, this city in southern Spain is the port with the biggest flow of people between Europe and Africa. This has resulted in a city with a lot of cultural diversity. The close physical proximity to Africa and the close cultural proximity to Latin America make this city a strategic place for the development of cross cultural ministry. For this reason the OM team in this city are involved in different ministry areas, mainly among Spaniards and Arabs, and also with some other smaller cultural groups.
As part of the programme you will learn about the challenges and opportunities present in cross cultural ministry. You will work with the team in different ministries, for example working with the local Spanish church, working with immigrants, church planting related activities and evangelism in the port. We offer practical cross cultural ministry training where you will participate in a multicultural team and context. At the same time we will accompany you to discover and develop your ministry according to your gifts and calling.
This programme can run for 3 months or up to 9 months. If the programme is longer than 90 days there may be additional costs for visas and language school studies (for those who don't already speak a good level of Spanish). In addition there will be a non-refundable registration fee of 40€.
Das bieten wir
The programme will focus on 4 main areas:
Self-leadership: In cross cultural ministry it is essential to learn skills such as how to manage your time, resources and your emotions in new contexts where change is a constant.
Teamwork: Learning to work as part of a team with people from different cultures, as well as maintaining a good relationship with your sending church, the local church and with other ministries.
Ministry foundations: As well as different cultures, the mission field also has a lot of different church denominations, so we will look at theological and missiological concepts.
Tools for connection: In some cases, depending on the type of ministry and the context in which you want to work in the future, you might need to develop different tools to connect with people and as a reason to enter a different country. These tools could include learning a new language, teaching language classes, developing your own business or doing training workshops.
