I
trust that this training course will prove beneficial to you in your own
personal and organizational context. Something exciting can happen to us
individually and organizational as a learning cohort that can be
life-changing and productive for many years to come. There is a
wonderful feeling of accomplishment that comes when we sit down with the
biblical text, attune to its message, alert to its human authors, and
ultimately – the divine Author, and sensitive to the message of the text
– then and now. Since one of the purposes of this Cultural Exchange and
Training Program is to provide the tools to develop and empower the
church and the community to advocate for themselves, it is appropriate
that we look at all aspects of Christian development.

The vision of Southern Africa Mission Project is to
empower leaders to establish, renew and invigorate the souls of their
organizations through biblical leadership principle in order to teach
the church and the community to advocate for themselves while bringing
glory to God.
Objective of the Training:
A study of biblical principles
concerning the development and exercise of Christian leadership of
organizations, this training program objective is to utilize holistic
approaches to encourage the personal development of a normative
Christian world view as it relates to leadership of any form of
organization.
Each year SAMP
sponsors a delegation from Africa to the United States, to
come and study our programs and methods. They are well
received by the community as they are introduced to the
educational, business and healthcare systems that are
available here in the United States. The exchange program's
primary focus is on Christian development, personal
development and career development. After the delegate
complete their training they return to their respective
countries to apply what they have learned. This too is a
part of the developmental approach to urban missions.
