ARE YOU
FIT for the FIELD?
Introduction
The WCFS Missions Initiation Course will rigorously test those seriously considering deploying to the mission field whether short or long term, at home or abroad.
Subject material will include:
-
Key matters critical to preparation for and successful practice of missions.
-
Testimonies of real failures and successes of missionaries that will empower students to succeed in missions by imitating their successes and avoiding their failures.
-
An overview of mission history from Acts to the Present will be followed by the key subjects, expecting students to promptly embrace and apply the truth presented in their daily walk with Christ.
The course is designed for students who are eager to be transparent about personal lives in the spirit of Psalm 139:23-24 and to embrace real change where necessary to fit themselves for God's work.
Students must be prepared for an intense spiritual environment which may include much spiritual revelation, vision and joyful anticipation of serving God and overcoming evil with good as well as painful examinations, confessions and gruesome encounters with God's Holy Spirit as He deals with their hearts.

The course will start with a review of mission history, followed by a progressive cycle of preparation. This preparation will begin with vetting each heart for sin and damages and continue through the general and specific calling of a saint, their consecration to God's service, contact with the people and their enemy, conflict and overcoming, and finish with recovery and re-engagement.
