Express - stepping into mission


Express is a short, dynamic course that can be accessed by coming to All Nations for five days or studying online for twenty hours. It will help you make the most of your mission trip by providing the basics in understanding cross-cultural mission, and it will also lay a foundation for the future. There are four cross-cutting themes that run throughout the course helping you to explore biblical foundations, cultural awareness, people skills and practical issues.

The course topics are built around three key questions:
  • Why am I going?
  • What is mission?
  • How can I work well with people from other cultures?
The course will also provide you with practical training in how to go well, stay well and return well.

Who is it for?

Express is aimed at those who are preparing for a short cross-cultural mission trip, or who are wanting to explore mission and have little training or experience. Participants will be committed Christians with a desire to learn more about how to live, work and witness cross-culturally.

What are the entry criteria?

There are no prior academic requirements for express. Those who are confident in spoken and written English will benefit most from the course. All non-EU applicants who do not speak English as a first language must have an IELTS pass of 6.0 or the Cambridge Advanced at C grade or above.
