A latent force for cross-cultural missions is embedded in the laity of evangelical city congregations in France. The thesis of this paper is that this dormant potential may be fanned to life through contextualized missionary mediation, implementing a carefully conceited Experiential Missions Training (EMT) process, designed to integrate cross-cultural missions projects and inter-congregational teams with the benefits of Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). The author draws out the principles of Experiential Missions Training through a case study of his own documented experiences of training teams of French believers from local churches in Lyon, France on missions ventures to the Kursk State University in western Russia. His conclusion is that these experiences provide enough missiological data, experience, and positive outcomes to justify the implementation of a full-orbed EMT pilot project among evangelical city churches in France, embodied in an indigenous missions sodality created for this purpose.
