This study focuses on the needs of potential full-time, cross-cultural missionaries. The course will help students prepare for intercultural stress, the difficulties involved with raising a family overseas, and the difficulties related to a personal walk with God when little accountability is present. Tools for coping with the difficulty of cultural adaption, both when moving to a cross-cultural situation and when returning to one’s culture of origin will also be presented.
