SHORT-TERM MISSIONS TRAINING

Equipping effective short-term team leaders.
Maximizing long-term benefits for all.
Help! We’re Going On A Short-Term Trip!

Designed to train leaders to train teams, our seminars are highly relational, informative, and interactive. CULTURELink’s hands-on training allows team leaders the opportunity to experience being part of a team themselves prior to assuming their leadership roles. CULTURELink works with mission organizations, churches, and humanitarian groups, equipping them with the “how-tos” of team development and preparing them for cross-cultural challenges.

“Help! We’re Going on a Short-Term Trip!” seminars provide fifteen hours of instruction and may be taught over two or three days. Each participant receives a set of our curriculum: a Team Leader’s Manual and a Team Member’s Manual. This curriculum paves the way for a cohesive, linear, and systematic training experience.

“We have hosted the CULTURELink seminar multiple times. We require that all of our team leaders be trained before leading a team. The training emphasizes the disciple-making process of team preparation as it prepares us for on-site ministry. The support-raising guidance is super! By God's grace, our teams have served well—we have always been asked back!”

Don D.Outreach Coordinator • York, PA

“I wish I had this training six years ago. I’ve been on thirty international trips, but through this training, I have learned so much about leadership, team-building skills, and spiritual and practical preparation for my teams.”

Short-Term Trip LeaderSeminar Participant • Woodstock, GA

“We send more than 150 people on mission trips every year. The CULTURELink content is rooted in biblical truths that are of great importance for anyone going on the mission field. CULTURELink brings a fresh and unique perspective to the significance of discipleship, both prior to and during a mission trip. We believe it is the most effective mission trip training out there.”

Missions CoordinatorCleveland, OH

“This seminar is the best leadership training for missions. It's hands-on...hard to describe it accurately as a seminar. It's not just listening; it’s active learning. The training was a missiology gut check for me.”
