Heritage Baptist Church will be hosting a Concilium training from November 7-9 for global workers and anyone aspiring to do global work. This training will focus on individuals serving in restricted access nations that are legally, socially and culturally opposed to the Gospel. It will teach a cross-cultural worker to have a well-rounded identity, which is crucial to develop legitimacy. This training will also cover events such as kidnappings, evacuations, or detainment, to the development of crisis management policies, procedures, and table top exercises.

This training is limited to 20 participants. The deadline to register is September 30.

Price: $600

This fee covers the sessions, lunch, and snacks. It does not cover breakfast, dinner, transportation, lodging, or childcare.
