Ministry Details

MDT offers an exciting introduction to cross cultural mission while helping you to deepen your relationship with God and to grow in discipleship. MDT is a five month+ programme – in two parts.

The first part is an intensive period of training and preparation which will enable you to understand mission at the heart of God, equip you for effective communication of the Gospel across cultures, give you skills for a disciplined devotional life, tools for ministry, a deeper understanding of yourself, as well developing team building and leadership skills.

The second part, following your training, will be an overseas Mission Placement which will enable you to serve God within an effective urban existing ministry in Europe or Asia. Join MDT for five months+ and you will not be the same again! Enjoy team life, interactive classroom training and urban ministry among the least-reached.

Please have a look at what the teams get up to via Instagram.
