Global Training

Consider partnering with others churches in your area to provide teachers for short-term training trips. If that doesn’t work, we would love to speak with you about other options.

For security reasons, we cannot list all the countries in which we serve; however, we are excited about the opportunities God has provided from South America to South Asia. If you would like to serve in a particular region or country, let us know.

Yes! We recognize the importance of training women to study the Bible and make disciples. We are continually exploring opportunities for women to serve on our trips. Learn about some of the current opportunities here!

Yes. When needed, we will provide a translator for teaching and general communication.

In order to participate in our Global Training trips, you must be a follower of Jesus Christ, an active member of your local church, and affirmed to teach by your church leadership. You must have an initial conversation with one of our Mobilizers and then complete an application and theological questionnaire. Additionally, you must meet these requirements:

Theological: RTIM operates under the New Hampshire Confession (1853) Revised, the Nashville Statement, and the Danvers Statement. All Reaching & Teaching missionaries, staff, trip participants, and field partners must adhere to each of these three statements of faith.

Medical/Health: Many training sites are remote and may be challenging for a person with certain health concerns to minister in a given setting. For this reason, we work carefully with applicants who have health restrictions/concerns to insure that every person is able to have a safe and healthy trip. If you have specific medical concerns, please discuss this with the Mobilizer in your initial conversation.

At some training sites there are additional ministry opportunities. The most common opportunities include preaching in local churches and other gospel ministry. These are not available at all locations.

A trip may be modified due to political unrest, natural disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances. Our first priority is to reschedule your trip in conjunction with both the students and the traveling teaching team. If this is not possible, we will help you choose another trip.

Typical trips include 5 days of teaching and 2 days of travel for a total of 7 days. Additional travel days may be required due to the remote nature of some training locations or the limited number of flights within some countries. We strive to make travel as efficient as possible.
