Basic Certificate

Basic Certificate

The Basic Certificate is an overview of how to care for people, particularly women in hard places. These are out-sourced programs that teach listening skills, crisis care, the effect of trauma on the whole person, and the Holy Spirit’s role in healing. The Basic Certificate is an excellent course for any pastor’s wife, women’s mentor, missionary, or caregiver.

Advanced Certificate

Advanced Certificate

The Advanced Certificate includes all the above but also requires courses at a Bible School, preferably a minimum of six weeks. Also required is the Long Term Orientation offered at the Ministry Training Center in New York City under Destinations International. The Advanced Certificate gives excellent preparation for the long-term worker cross-culturally and should be the standard for missionaries going on the field to work with women at risk.
