Robert W. Ferris has done God′s global church a great service, particularly those committed to effective ministry training. In this manual he and his internationally experienced colleagues walk educators and trainers through the path to start new ministry training programmes, as well as to strengthen existing ones.
While this book focuses particularly on missionary training the underlying concepts and their application directly relate to every form of ministry training. So whether you initiate new programmes to train pastors or missionaries, or whether you are strategically revisiting the entire curriculum and educational process of an existing school, you will find this book of singular value.
This practical manual serves as a companion volume to the other WEFMissions Commission publications released in 1995 through William Carey Library on the critical topic of missionary training.
