Levels in Missionary training:
Missionary training has three levels-
-
Basic
-
Middle &
-
Higher.
The basic level is for grassroots level church planters in the mission fields. Many of these are native evangelists and these are usually village leaders sometimes not having formal education.
The middle level is for cross cultural career missionary. A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in missiology would equip the missionary for the task ahead. M. Th. And Ph.D. degrees are higher and are research oriented.
