What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Classes

In addition to morning classes, you’ll spend time with your national language helper learning the local trade language.  Learn words and phrases through study and shared activities like working in the garden or learning a local craft.

See the Course Curriculum

Activities

“Village exposure” is available almost every day depending on local happenings. By interacting with the people, playing with the kids and practicing language skills, you’ll experience more of the culture hands-on.

Other group activities include sports, a day trip to town to barter for souvenirs, and traditional meals.

Evenings

The Interface staff open their homes to students every night. Spend time getting to know each other; exchange stories. They’ll listen as you process all you’re learning and answer your questions. Evening classes are often held, and weekly bonfires unite the group through worship and sharing.

Indigenous Side Trip

Experience missionary life in a remote area while interacting with the missionaries and indigenous people. Hear another language and taste another culture. Worship with indigenous believers. You’ll see a church plant in progress as a culmination of your Interface experience.

Field Support Internships in Papua New Guinea

An additional two to three week internship at Interface is available for those who qualify.

Course Curriculum

Motivation for Missions
(5 hrs.) What is God doing? How can you fit into His plans? Finding direction and His will for your life becomes clearer as you focus on His eternal purposes.

Evangelism & Discipleship
Do you know how to effectively communicate the Gospel with an animist? You’ll hear how missionaries present the Gospel in an indigenous church planting setting using a chronological approach.

Cross-Cultural Communication
(32 hrs.) Convinced you can’t learn a foreign language? You’ll surprise yourself. Classroom instruction followed by immediate application in the village provides an ideal learning environment. This includes direct language and culture gathering experience.

Mission Methods
(9 hrs.) Church planting cross-culturally is a huge job! Careful planning is required. You’ll be shown the methods missionaries use today to keep on track. Language-learning goals, surveys, strategy statements, church planting models, linguistics, literacy, Bible translation and more are covered.

Support Ministry
(9 hrs.) Church-planting cross-culturally is a huge job! Careful planning is required. You’ll be shown the methods missionaries use today to keep on track. Language-learning goals, surveys, strategy statements, church-planting models, linguistics, literacy, Bible translation and more are covered.

Finances in Missions
(2 hrs.) Is it possible to stay out of debt and get an education? What does it cost to live as a missionary? This is your opportunity to receive biblically based, practical advice from experienced missionaries.

Communicating Missions
(6 hrs.) Missionaries are an extension of the local church. In order to build effective partnerships with churches and individuals you must first learn how to communicate well.

Critical Issues in Missions
(6 hrs.) Are the unreached really lost? What is the missionary call? What roles are there for women or singles in missions? These and other frequently asked questions are discussed.

Missionary Training
(3 hrs.) What options are available to you? What are mission agencies looking for in a missionary candidate?

Training debriefing
In order to prepare participants for their Encounter trip, we provide two trainings, a pre-trip curriculum and a pre-field orientation. Shortly after being accepted onto a trip, participants will receive information for taking two virtual trainings for safety and child safety. Participants will be mailed the pre-trip portion of our curriculum that helps them prepare both mentally and spiritually for their trip. The day before departing to the field, participants will attend a pre-field orientation that discusses general travel and field safety, an introduction to cultural differences they will experience and basic health training. The final couple of days in country are spent preparing participants to return to their home country. They debrief the trip as well as discuss realties of returning home and how they can continue to partner in missions. Once they have returned home, they can begin working through the post-trip portion of the curriculum. This helps them work through reverse culture shock, how to tell friends and supporters about their trip effectively and how allow their experience to encourage them to find the Lord's next step for them in missions.
