Training services on cross-cultural partnership
Werner Mischke is also available to serve churches by providing training services and workshops on the subject of cross-cultural partnership.
Workshop features:
- The workshops have a Christ-centered, Scripture-based focus that calls us to wisely serve in His story and mission.
- The workshops are designed on the basis of adult learning theory. The four “I’s” of adult learning—Inductive, Input, Implementation, Integration—are woven into the design of the learning tasks that comprise each training session or workshop.
- Tools include reproducible presentation materials which you can subsequently use yourself to train others.
- The workshops are designed to allow for your own stories to help shape the training events.
Workshop titles:
- Powerboat or sailboat? Cultivate the sailboat mindset, “catching the Wind of God”, to ensure a fruitful cross-cultural partnership
- Develop empathic listening skills— “hearing with your heart”—for building cross-cultural relationships and partnerships
- Six big dangers churches face in building cross-cultural partnerships—and how to avoid them
- Knowing the five basic culture scales to enhance your cultural intelligence—for more fruitful cross-cultural partnerships
- Three keys to developing a reservoir of cross-cultural trust—and why it’s essential for long term success
- Build better relationships by understanding the pivotal cultural value of honor and shame—both in Scripture and in many Majority World cultures
- Appropriate accountability—what it looks like in a healthy cross-cultural partnership—and what to do if things go wrong
- How “Appreciative Inquiry” changes how you serve the poor for everyone’s joy and for God’s glory
- Three factors to help ensure Christian entrepreneurs are successfully using their missional DNA for fruitful cross-cultural ministry
The learning journey — where real change happens
Normally, workshops and seminars result in little actual behavior change. It is unlikely that one or more workshops will change your life or your church. These workshops are intended to “whet the appetite” for participants to engage in a missional learning journey that is transformational. An effective small group study—or missional learning journey—involves a variety of learning tasks, accountability and encouragement, with friends, over a period of time.
At the end of each a workshop, one of the options presented for follow-up and deeper engagement is the six-week study, The Beauty of Partnership, designed and edited by Werner Mischke. Learn more about The Beauty of Partnership here: http://beautyofpartnership.org
