Missions for Everyone
Is God's mission only for preachers or pastors?
When we mention the term 'missionary', most people will think of the image of a westerner dressed in Asian clothing, holding a Bible and preaching from town to town. This is probably because of the inspiring stories of spiritual giants such as Hudson Taylor and William Carey.
The fact is, not all missionaries are preachers. Educators, artists, IT professionals, accountants, and people with different skills are much needed in the mission field for the purpose of advancing God's Kingdom. Your God-given talents are a much needed part of the work of missions!
Camp Wycliffe
Would you like to have a taste of overseas missions? Do you feel a desire to reach out beyond home?
If you are serious about missions, Camp Wycliffe is a place where you can gain a deeper understanding and experience first-hand what cross-cultural missions is like. It is also a time of reflection when you can listen to God's call in your life and seek His will.
Camp Wycliffe will provide participants with the experience of being a missionary. Participants will also learn about cross-cultural experiences through the speaker, who is the trainer of the camp. They will also gain knowledge on the lifestyle of tribes in Thailand, and will subsequently have an opportunity to go into local villages to practice and apply what they learnt in the camp.
Come join us for a time of discovery in more ways than you would expect.

Explore Language
Engage people with the message of Christ in ways they can truly understand.

Over the five-day course, you will have hands-on experience in learning a new language, looking at its sounds and structures as well as the people’s culture.
Presenters involved in Bible translation, literacy and Scripture Use will share from their experience and give a glimpse into what it means to engage people with the message of Christ in ways they can truly understand.

Bible Storying
Have you ever wanted to tell a friend or stranger about God, but felt you didn’t know how?
“…Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on…” —Deut 4:9 (NLT)
Have you ever wanted to tell a friend or stranger about God, but felt you didn’t know how? Do you wish you felt more inspired in your own Bible use? Are you looking for ways to bring the Bible to life in your family, congregation or life group?
Wycliffe’s Story the Bible workshops will equip you with skills to use Bible stories in mission, ministry and everyday life. During the three-day workshop, you will:
-
Discover how to take a Bible text and craft a Bible story that is clear, memorable and gripping while still being accurate to the biblical text.
-
Learn to facilitate a Bible discussion using a story.
-
Learn how to teach others a Bible story that you have crafted.
Wycliffe Story the Bible workshops will stretch you, equip you, and inspire you to share God’s story with others.
Encounter Culture
Develop a non-judgmental attitude to other cultures, a positive cultural curiosity, and an appreciation of all people.
Most of us, when confronted with something that is 'different', have an emotional reaction to it, and inwardly think of it as 'bad' or 'wrong'. This creates a hurdle, even if sub-consciously, to befriending people of different cultures when we are wanting to share the gospel with them.
Wycliffe's Encounter Culture course helps people develop a non-judgemental attitude to other cultures, a positive cultural curiosity, and an appreciation of all people. Through the five weekly sessions and four practical exercises, you will:
-
Progressively unpeel the 'onion' model of culture starting with the outward visible layer of behaviour,
-
Learn how values influence and determine behaviour,
-
Dig deeper to learn how beliefs drive values, and
-
Consider what is real beyond the physical realm - what one's worldview is.
Maximum benefit is gained from this course when participants pre-arrange to meet with a person from another culture to go through the weekly practical exercises with them.
Wycliffe offers this course to help churches in their role of ministering to people they encounter daily, in the increasingly diverse cultural landscape.
