Steps to hosting a workshop at your church

I.    Contact Gina Rollins to confirm dates for the workshop. We generally work six months to a year ahead on scheduling.

II.    Identify and contact potential registrants. These would be people who have either already expressed an interest in missions as a career, or who have shown by life, ministry, and commitment that they have a global vision for reaching people with the good news of Christ. Think not only of people who have done missions trips, but those who are reaching out in the local community, who may have leadership skills, evangelistic gifts, or other gifts that have been evident to the church community. The earlier you contact people, the more likely they will be able to attend. Think months ahead, not weeks.

III.    Decide the venue and schedule—either at the church or in another location (camp, conference center, public facility like a hospital or library meeting room). Sample schedules are available and we can make alterations to the start time to suit your needs. The length and composition of the workshop is not negotiable.
