Abstract

The methodological and contextual limitations of academic communities impede the development of needed character traits and attitudes deemed important for effective cross-cultural ministry. Dedicated missionary training communities utilize informal education to achieve these desired outcomes. This project identified the predominant character qualities and attitudes found in various bodies of literature on missionary competency profiling. Further, it demonstrates that informal and nonformal education are the most suitable methods for effective character and attitude formation in pre-field missionaries. A correlation was presented based on the New Testament writings, demonstrating that Jesus Christ targeted character qualities and attitudes, and addressed these by using informal educational methods, and established an intentional community as the basis of addressing these training needs. This project also provided an instructional program designed for missionary training communities to increase awareness, model and practice seven desired character traits and attitudes.
