An intensive, residential ministry training program in the Eastern Mediterranean region that equips men and women to serve in the Muslim World.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Every September we draw students from the Eastern Mediterranean region, Central Asia, Europe and North America to gather as a community. Together we dedicate ourselves to a transformed way of living so that we can impact the world around us.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from the historic monastic communities in this part of the world, we live out a commitment to God and to one another. We aim to cultivate an environment for our students where they can grow in knowledge, experience and character.<\/p>\n

Our Ministry Training is an intensive three-month program, which is followed by an optional three month intern placement serving alongside teams and ministries in the Muslim world. During the program, our students will receive classes on the Bible, theology, spiritual formation and discipleship, Islam, history of Christianity and cross-cultural ministry.<\/p>\n

We think of the commitment we make to one another during this program as the most important part of equipping that takes place. It is in the context of community that character is grown. By living together we learn the disciplines of generosity, humility, forgiveness, reconciliation, vulnerability, sacrifice and service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our community is located on an island in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The training takes place at an eco-tourism hotel and garden where students live together in a facility near the coast. It is an ideal location for communal living, where our lives are shared with one another in a rhythm of prayer, work, and study. The village is close enough to bigger towns to stay connected, and remote enough to be a genuine retreat from the world around us.<\/p>\n

We live out a rhythm of prayer, work and study. Classes take place on the property and work responsibilities take place in the garden or in our coffee roasting area.<\/p>\n

We have our own coffee roaster and espresso machine. Students receive an in-depth education in the world of coffee, including basic coffee knowledge, the origins of coffee, brewing methods, espresso, filter coffee, Turkish coffee and coffee roasting. \u00a0The aim of training our students in this sector is to equip them with a way of financially sustaining themselves in ministry.\u00a0 The buisiness also brings a tangible benefit to the island.<\/p>\n

This program is also one of the ways through which you can join World Horizons in full-time ministry. Find out more by filling in the contact form below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
