World Harvest Institute (WHI) is the training program of ACC World Missions. WHI has been set up primarily to prepare people for cross-cultural service. It is not a short cut to service but rather hands on cross cultural ministry training, supplementing the valuable theological and ministry training already provided by Bible Colleges.
WHI offers highly specialised training for missionary candidates, pastors, mission team leaders and ethnic ministry workers; in fact for anyone committed to cross cultural ministry either short or long term.
WHI is a dynamic cross cultural training course that will impact your life and enhance your effectiveness. WHI is a six week program, offered in December / January, and in June / July when there are sufficient registrations. WHI is so designed that you may take the course in partial blocks or as a full program. Most subjects are self contained within one week. The course is an intense program comprising a 20 lecture hour week plus daily reading and written assignments. Many Bible Colleges are willing to use WHI studies as credit within their program.
The course directed in its different locations by Pastor Kevin, Pastor Glenys and Pastor Ross*. Each of the directors have decades of missionary experience covering a number of countries. In the individual courses, they are assisted by other experienced lecturers & trainers.
Pastor Kevin* (MA Miss.) and Pastor Glenys* (MA Miss.) are the founding directors of Global Training Ministries Inc., that now conducts World Harvest Institute. Pastor Ross (MRE) serves as part of the field team of ACC World Missions.
