 Personal Note from the Executive  Director

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.

Cultural Exchange and Training Program

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.
