COA Network Training- Session 1 (Wed 9-10:30 CST)

God has brought the most strategic and influential young leaders directly to our campuses from the 50+ “M” majority countries of the world. This is more than a training—it is a visionary investment in those who will shape the future of the global Church.

As we reach out to students from the spiritually strategic and culturally rich regions of the Middle East and beyond, our goal is to turn the campus into a launchpad for the Gospel.

The Vision

To move beyond surface-level acquaintance into deep, transformative ministry. Through the COA (Children of Abraham) Network Training, we are equipping staff to navigate the cultural complexities and unique spiritual barriers of Middle Eastern students with effectiveness, competence, prayer, and heart.

The Experience

This is a focused, hands-on incubator designed for impact. Through a blend of cultural analysis, expert input, and real-world field assignments, you will:

• Sharpen Strategy: Gain the tools to overcome specific barriers to evangelism and discipleship unique to this audience.

• Engage the Harvest: Move from theory to action alongside a community of peers.

• Lead the Way: Prepare Middle Eastern students to return home as catalysts for Christ.

The opportunity is incredible, and the harvest is ready. Join us as we equip ourselves to reach the world at our doorstep. They have come to us!

Our six modules will begin on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, and continue every other week through November 18. Each 90-minute session will be offered during two time blocks:

• 9:00-10:30 a.m. Central Time

• 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Central Time (9-10:30 am Pacific)

Objectives

Through the Network Training, participants should be able to do the following across cultures:

• Initiate and sustain meaningful conversations that build relationships and invite ongoing dialogue.

• Clearly present the gospel and guide individuals toward a point of decision.

• Understand students’ cultural and faith backgrounds.
