Training

Equipping you for mission … what happens ?

At Xplore we take a competency based approach to equipping you for mission. We aim to get to know the best way to help you learn what you need to know.

Together we will explore the Biblical view of the Kingdom of God and work with you to develop personal discipline and self-awareness as you become sensitive to the needs of broken communities where you will observe, interpret and reach out with the life transforming message of Jesus.

There will be three mornings each week looking understanding various aspects of mission, and the rest of the your time will be on the frontline. Training begins in September each year and is based in Liverpool.

Below is an overview of the eight units we look at during the 14 weeks of training. In addition we undertake an Outward Bound style residential, and experience various other opportunities as they arise!

UNIT One – Two Kingdoms – good and evil, in history, in me, in culture

UNIT Two – Meta-Narratives – Narratives – in culture, in us, how they shape our lives, how we respond
