You are part of this journey because you have sensed God's call to join him in Rafiki’s work in Africa.

You are about to embark on a service assignment from the Lord in which you will grow in your knowledge of Him, of others in another culture, and in which you will be conformed more and more to the image of Christ.

God has chosen a global missions assignment to draw you closer to Himself, to sanctify you, and to perhaps allow you to help others know Him – the best thing you can do with your life.

You are not just preparing for a trip or an assignment, or a cross-cultural experience you are preparing for a calling and a commitment. The calling to be a missionary is one that demands all of you because Christ demands all of you.

As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, “When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die”, (from Cost of Discipleship).

This online training is designed to prepare you to join Rafiki in God's work in Africa. The course is interactive, allowing for opportunity to interact with the content through readings, reflections, discussion with your peers, assignments, and collaboration.

Your participation in this course will provide you an opportunity to engage in:

Training in mission history and mission culture
Reflection
Engagement with other personalities
Knowledge of God, self and Rafiki

Begin your journey here by learning all you need to know to get started.

"Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
Matthew 16:24-25
