“I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking Him to do His work through me.” … Missionary Hudson Taylor

This has been our thoughts and our prayer as LifeLink International has joined forces with Victory World Church in Atlanta, GA to develop a missionary training program. With a congregation of over 6000 people, Victory World Church has a mission and ministry base located in Cuernavaca, Mexico. This is the location for the missionary training program.

As missionary trainers and developers of mission strategies, Mike and Deborah Turner, founders of LifeLink, have spent years developing and implementing on-the-field missionary training and working to help trainees become successful missionaries.

The Training Program Components include: Field Orientation, Cultural Adaptation, Language Acqusition, Interpersonal Skills, Partner Relations, Basic Ministry Training, Concepts of Team Ministry, Communication Skills, Deployment Processes, Debriefing Processes.

The fall 20008 session was awesome! Seven adults and four children, ages 2-6 years old, attended the training. Please pray for these as they begin to walk in their callings:

J & J Lambert (N Carolina) ………target location: Thailand
W & M Tingle (FL)…………………..target location: Nicaragua
J Wilkerson (GA) …………………..target location: Restricted
D Trammell (GA) …………………..target location: Mexico
J Schulte (GA) ………………………target location: USA

The missionary training program is 10-weeks and is held twice yearly: the fall and spring. The Spring 2009 program is April 3-May 29.

The application deadline is March 13th for the spring 2009 session.
