We journey together through the New Testament to discover the transformative power of Synergia, exploring how this ancient word reveals God's design for collaborative mission and equipping us to lead churches, plants and missionary endeavours that thrive through genuine partnership. By the end of this series, we will be equipped to reshape our understanding of what it means to work together, enabling us to build teams and organisations where unity multiplies our Kingdom impact far beyond what we could ever accomplish alone.

We discover how to learn, craft and tell Bible stories in ways that are memorable, engaging and genuinely life changing, guided by hosts Daniel and Natalie Baker through the power of narrative in our mission amongst unreached peoples. As we journey through this course, we will be equipped with practical storytelling skills that unlock the transformative potential of Scripture and enable us to share God's story with impact and cultural sensitivity.

In this course, we journey through six transformative sections that equip us with the attitude and approach essential for cross-cultural mission: the capacity to navigate cultural complexity with humility, to honour diversity, and to recognise that our role is facilitating indigenous expressions of ancient truth rather than imposing our own categories and answers. We emerge equipped to listen deeply before we speak, to recognise that the strongest among us must be willing to change, and to understand that true contextualisation flourishes when we approach new cultures not as experts, but as humble learners of what God is already doing.

In this course, we journey through Isaiah 40-66 to discover nine transformative names of God that reveal His character and His missional heart for the world, equipping church leaders, planters and missionaries to understand how we participate in the Missio Dei. Each 10-15 minute devotional track invites us to marvel at who God is and what He is doing, so that we can step boldly into our calling to join Him in His redemptive work across every nation and community.

In this course, we explore the true nature of poverty and God's heart for those who are marginalised, learning from experienced practitioners how to proclaim the gospel in ways that are practical, contextualised, and Spirit-led within communities facing economic hardship. As we journey through these modules together, we will be equipped to connect authentically with people living in poverty and to participate in the transformation that occurs when the good news of Jesus is integrated with compassionate, contextual action.

In this module, we explore how to faithfully communicate the gospel within the unique cultural contexts where we minister, learning from both foundational principles of contextualisation and real stories of church leaders, planters and missionaries who are courageously encountering and transforming cultural strongholds through the leading of the Holy Spirit. As we journey through teaching on Spirit-led contextualisation and discover how cross-cultural teams plant churches that authentically reflect their communities, we will be equipped to navigate the complex relationship between our faith and our culture, ensuring that the unchanging truth of Christ speaks powerfully to the particular people we serve.

In this module, we journey through the essential lessons of entering a new culture with humility, discernment and respect, learning from experienced missionaries and cultural practitioners who share their hard-won insights to help us navigate complex cultural landscapes with integrity and effectiveness. We will be equipped to build genuine relationships, recognise our own cultural blindspots, and serve communities in ways that honour their values whilst remaining true to our calling as church leaders, planters and missionaries.

This module is focused on the key role of sending churches and the importance of sending and supporting cross cultural workers well. This module has both teaching, on the importance of pastoral support and care, as well as case studies from churches that are experienced at doing this.

The aim of this course is to increase your desire to share your faith with Muslim friends and acquaintances and to help you feel more confident about doing so.

The phrase goes, unless you know the questions that people are asking you cannot answer them. When entering a new culture, there will be different ways of viewing the world and different key questions that people are asking in order to make sense of the world. In this module we will explore worldview and key grids that many people interpret the world through. We'll look at honour and shame, the importance of reciprocal relationships and the importance of narrative and story telling. 

In this module, we explore the practical foundations that will shape your overseas journey, covering essential topics from building support networks and managing finances to preparing your family and securing your digital presence. As we work through these crucial preparation steps together, we equip ourselves with the knowledge and foresight that transforms good intentions into sustainable, God-honoured mission work.

In March 2015, David Devenish taught a whole day on culture and contextualisation, outlining why he thinks it is essential not just for those working in international contexts, but increasingly for churches to reach the communities around us. It consists of 8 teaching sessions.

In this module, we explore the essential characteristics of a pioneer and journey together through key developmental areas that will shape us as church planters serving across cultures. As we embrace lifelong learning and allow God to mould us through new experiences, we will be equipped to walk the unworn paths of cross-cultural ministry with effectiveness and spiritual maturity.

In this module, we explore the foundational work of preparing ourselves, our families, and our circumstances before moving overseas, covering everything from personal readiness and church sending to practical training and financial sustainability. As we journey through these essential preparations, we will be equipped with the wisdom and practical tools that overseas workers wish they had known before departure, ensuring that our axe is sharp and our foundation is solid for the mission God is calling us to.

In this module, we explore the foundational principles of culture and language, equipping church leaders and missionaries with the understanding needed to communicate the Gospel authentically and respectfully across diverse communities and contexts. Through this journey, we will develop the cultural awareness and linguistic insights that empower us to build genuine relationships, honour local traditions, and plant churches that take root deeply within the communities we serve.

When you became a follower of Jesus, God drew you into his global mission. God's passion is for his glory to fill the earth as the waters cover the sea and for the gospel to reach all peoples. God chooses ordinary men and women and calls them to partner in this mission. In this module we'll look at calling in scripture, how to know if God is calling you, key aspects of calling and how calling develops, as well as hearing testimonies of how others who are now serving overseas were called by God.

In this module, we explore how Scripture ignites our passion for mission and mandates the gospel to reach the ends of the earth, whilst examining key values that should guide our contextualised approach to cross-cultural ministry. Through teaching on the biblical narrative of missions, the priority of unreached peoples, the importance of the poor, and godly ambition in gospel proclamation, we will be equipped to plant churches and lead mission efforts that are both biblically grounded and culturally sensitive to the unique contexts where God has called us.
