Meanwhile, as more and more people desire to go to the mission field, there are organizations providing needed training for these prospective overseas workers. Africa Inland Mission has a program called, 'Training In Ministry Outreach', or 'TIMO". AIM's John Findley was a part of it. "It's geared toward training new missionaries in cross-cultural ministry, and how to learn a language, and how to proclaim the Gospel to another culture. As you're living among the people, you're also learning the academic curriculum." According to Findley, seasoned missionaries train recruits where there's not Gospel witness. But, do they stay when their time is up? "Not only do people return to the place that there were serving, but people often find that those two years are very formative in discerning the Lord's will for them and often do come back. Perhaps in another capacity, but perhaps also in church planting, evangelism and discipleship, which is what TIMO is about."
