Many training programs focus on either the Messenger, the
Community, or the Message...or a combination. CIT focuses on these as well, but
we spend a good bit of time also focusing on the Receiver. Our philosophy is
that you can culturally prepare the family and have a theologically sound
message, but if you don't thoroughly understand your Receiver and have a
strategic plan to successfully penetrate their culture with the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, you are only partially prepared. To that end, part of our training focuses on:

Cultural Understanding

Cultural Analysis

Exposure to your church of destination

Tools for strategic cultural entry and effective ministry

Community Care:

Community living to reinforce training

History giving and life mapping

Family friendly

CIT is a great place for families with a campus devoted to making the family's
transition to cross-cultural ministry as smooth as possible.

Place of transition

Countless students have told us that this campus and surrounding area has been
a wonderful place that God has used to prepare them for the transition to
overseas living.

Rural setting

This type of location helps to provide a respite from the hustle and bustle of life
which helps students to focus on why they are here.
