FOCUS Training

Empowering workers to serve in the 10/40 Window and beyond.




2025 Training: January 25 - February 6




FOCUS Training is a critical part of Kingdom Channels; our goal is to better equip those who wish to serve in the 10/40 Window and beyond. We do a combination of in-depth training, intensive study in classroom settings, team building activities, and preparing laborers with practical skills. 

This two-week training, which is limited to 36 attendees, serves as an overview on skills and topics relevant to workers serving in the 10/40 Window, including cross-cultural awareness and team dynamics. Come to FOCUS to grow deeper in your spiritual life and consider how your life may be used to advance God’s Kingdom among the unreached people of the 10/40 Window.

Here are a few of the topics covered in the sessions: The Metanarrative of God, Jesus and Discipleship, The Shaping of the Middle East, Burnout: Cause and Cure, The World is Not Ours to Save, Entering as Learners, Warm and Cold Cultures, Trauma and Healing, Hearing the Voice of the Shepherd, Assurance of Salvation, Spiritual Endurance, and A New Normal.

A Student Reflects…

Both staff and trainees brought themselves as people ready to hear and ready to share with others from their own lives. Kingdom Channels brought in a variety of speakers who cared deeply about the Christian life and God’s heart for the nations. We learned some of the history, politics, and religion of the Middle East, practical aspects of daily life, and strategies for gaining access to countries and people groups. We spent hours together in single-gender small groups praying, working through personal struggles, and digesting and processing various aspects of training. FOCUS included organized times of prayer, worship, and sharing, as well as a defined structure and an atmosphere of intentionality.  This culture was reflected outside the formal schedule through spontaneous conversations at meals and throughout the day.
