Course Catalog¶
The course catalog is a developing training library for missionary readiness. It is designed for independent missionaries, church members, mission-minded families, local churches, and sponsoring partners who need practical preparation before or alongside field-specific training.
The courses are introductory. They do not replace local church discernment, organizational requirements, professional advice, or supervised field preparation.
Level 1 Starter Courses¶
The following Level 1 courses are designed for new field workers, church members, and sponsoring partners who need practical, action-oriented readiness habits with low jargon and clear field application. Each course includes five lessons, an ungraded skill check in every lesson, and a graded quiz delivered through Google Forms.
