"This course was a good integration of cross-cultural theories and practical experiences.We were inspired by how God is working in the different fields of the world and also took an honest look at the history of cross-cultural mission and learned from what did not work. Through this 3 week course, i was challenged to review my own faith and evaluate my preparations to acculturate and contextualise the Gospel for my mission field. "

"I enjoyed learning from different classmates and trainers, many of whom are pastors and missionaries who have years of experience ministering in cross-cultural settings. The modules on Contexualization of the Gospel, Phonetics & Linguistics and Honour & Shame Culture were particularly eye-opening and helpful. I appreciate how we got to venture out of the classroom to put what we've learnt into practice too!"

"I take away a whole load and ton from the wisdom and knowledge ACTI has imparted. I am reminded and encouraged to keep expanding my worldview and put on the Lens of God in understanding the world and people around me. Because of the life lessons taught here, i take away a change of heart, a more matured soul and walk out better than i walked in. ACTI remains very close to my heart and the whole duration of my training helped me affirm my calling to serve God."

"As we begin our 2nd term in Taiwan, what we have learnt from ACTI still serves as our directory in the way we set values, beliefs and preferred future for our ministries. We are always reminded by our lessons from ACTI that we are here to do "Intergral Missions" based on transformational development and not falling into the trap of doing community development. So glad that we did ACTI before we step into the field."

"Joining ACTI course in 2021 gave me a good overview of different challenges that i would meet on the mission field, such as managing conflict, self-care, cultural differences, etc. - i think i have experienced almost everything that we discussed during the course in my past year here in Ethiopia! i really enjoyed the fact that the speakers and mentors were all seasoned missionaries on the field, because they shared from their personal experiences and made the sessions very practical. What is unique about ACTI is that it brought together people from various missions organisations, as well as different backgrounds and cultures, giving us an appetizer to life on the field, as well as allowing to network and build up a community that can share and encourage each other often even after the course."
