Who Should Attend MTS?

Don’t let the term school and student turn you away! We have designed our training using adult-learning methods that involve in-depth classroom discussions and provide space for individuals to personally grapple with every aspect of the missionary lifestyle. Our training school is for you if you are:

    • A high school or college graduate looking to learn mission strategy while putting it into practice first-hand and not going into debt.
    • A young professional and/or married couple wanting to take the next step toward the vision God has given you for missions.
    • A couple with kids that desire to practically learn how to live on mission as a family.
    • A retiree who wants to use your wisdom and experience to disciple the next generation.

Upcoming MTS Dates

January 8, 2024 – May 21, 2024
August 5, 2024 – December 17, 2024

GFM not only taught me some very practical and necessary skills for the mission field, it also created an environment to apply the teaching while ministering to internationals. This allowed me to better determine the area of ministry God was directing me towards.
