A Summer Missions
Program Reaching Canada's Native Peoples
|
 |
NCEM Missionary Training
Course (NMTC) is a practical missionary training program with a
difference!
Participants experience cross-cultural missionary work
firsthand. The summer program consists of "Seminar
Week," followed by five weeks living in a Native community, and concludes
with a one-day "Recap."
Seminar
Week
NMTC operates from Lac La Biche,
located northeast of Edmonton, Alberta. Qualified staff, including
experienced missionaries, serve as instructors. Sessions include:
"Cross-Cultural Witness," "Evangelism in a Native
Lifestyle," "Winning Over Fear," and others.
Practical workshops are given in fire-building, canoeing,
fish-filleting, bannock-making, and visual aids.
Village Ministry - 5 Weeks
At the end of Seminar Week you will
be assigned to a reserve or Native community, in teams of two. Your
supervisor (in most cases a senior missionary in the area) will
introduce you to your station. You will be visited regularly to
discuss questions or problems and to receive encouragement and
direction. But for the most part you'll be free to plan your own
programs and strategies to reach the people with the Gospel.
Possibilities include home visitation, children's and youth work,
camp-outs, or simply sharing Christ through friendship evangelism.
Recap
You will undoubtedly look forward to
returning for Recap to share your experiences and lessons learned.
It will be a time of evaluation and warm fellowship, a time that
will really "recap" your summer and possibly give new
direction for your life.
