This has been a season of preparation. Training is just around the corner. What do you think a missionary would need to know? Would it be good to know about the place you're heading? What about the country? The training I am going to focuses on the people you will be trying to reach. The people groups that GoTEN is especially trying to reach are the Somali, Afghan, Syrian, Iraqi, and Rohingya. I plan to visit with these people. As a missionary will I teach theology? evangelize? disciple? preach? As Gospel and Bible storytellers, our focus will be on teaching.
The plan is to head to the east (North Carolina) for training then head north back to Michigan to pack to go west to Phoenix, Arizona. This should be like going from winter to spring back to winter then straight to summer.
