"People will not easily cross cultural barriers to hear the message of Christ" (Donald McGavran 1897 - 1990).

LCCTI specializes in helping missionaries throughout the world cross the cultural divide in communicating the gospel and developing strategies for ministry effectiveness through:

Relevant Training For Today's World

"I should have kept a census of the many missionaries who have told me how they wished they had been trained in anthropology. I myself have often felt I could have reached that point of effectiveness in two years which took me ten as it was" (A.R. Tippett 1911 - 1988).

With over thirty years of experience, LCCTI has provided cross-cultural training for churches, missionaries and mission agencies. Our ministry philosphy is simple: Learn the questions before trying to give the answers. By training workers how to understand people of other cultures -- their worldview, religion, family structure, interpersonal relationships -- they will be better equipped in developing an appropriate strategy for ministry and communication of the Gospel within their context.
