The GAP
|
APPRENTICESHIP
 The GAP 1 apprenticeship is a strategic
partnership which prepares young men and women for cross-cultural ministry
through a training program which is based on local church, church planting and
missions principles. It is an apprenticeship program - combining the formal
training found in a Bible school with the practical ministry experiences of an
internship. Students experience a combination of academic and practical field
training on a daily basis.
 The
GAP 1 is held on our campuses in northeastern Brazil and in Rio de
Janeiro. Students are divided into teams to complete weekly ministry
projects that actually build toward planting a new church as the
semester progresses. Everyday students can apply in the field what they
have learned in the classroom!
The GAP is truly a unique inter-cultural training
experience because American students learn and work side-by-side with Brazilian
students whom are going through the program at the same time. Our team has
written and developed all of the training materials in both English and
Portuguese. Our instructors include seasoned American missionaries as well as
national pastors and leaders. Students see, learn and model local church
ministry within the missions and church planting context.
Students
also work with our sister organization Light to the Nations, which has
assisted with the planting of over 450 churches since 2001. We are
currently focusing on planting churches in the 153 cities of Project
153 that all have at least 10,000 inhabitants with a maximum Christian
population of 3%. Check out the Project 153 video here.
