MCMS
is the training arm of The Malaysian Center for Global Ministry
(MCGM), which is a national movement to network the Malaysian
Church in missions. MCMS is not a "missions agency" nor "a
missionary sending body". Our vision is to serve the Churches &
Missions Agencies in the preparation of THEIR missionaries and tentmakers
through a 9 WEEK Intensive Missionary Preparation Program that covers
the practical challenges of cross-cultural ministry. MCMS Faculty includes
Missionaries & Missions Leaders from different parts of the world
who are involved in Missionary Training or who are Missionaries on the
field. These include ones like Neal Pirolo (renown speaker and author
of books like SERVING AS SENDERS, SPIRITUAL WARFARE, THE RE-ENTRY TEAM,
etc.), Brian Newton, Dr Danny Martin, Paul Hattaway, Dr Kent Parks,
Scott Wood and others. MCMS is not a Theological School.
THUS, we strongly
advise churches and agencies to ensure that their candidates have gone
through some level of Theological Training before they join MCMS. MCMS's
Curriculum is designed to help your missionary candidates make a GOOD
ENTRY into the field. THUS, most of the subjects thought are related
to their first 18 months into the field - Language Learning, Serving
in a Missionary Team, Research, Serving As A Family (or as Singles),
Effective Tentmaking, Strategy Development, etc.
