School of Outreach-Evangelism Training

Making Disciples of All Nations

Missionary Gospel Academy is a one-semester crash course that disciples and trains believers to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in everyday life.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…" Matthew 28:19

What is MGA?

Discipling local missionaries

Our mission is to equip and train believers to reach a variety of religious, social, and cultural people groups with the Gospel, and to inspire them to explore a calling in these or other evangelistic ministries.

Simply stated, we aim to disciple local missionaries to make disciples of every nation.

MGA is a one-semester missionary crash course for those passionate about the Great Commission. The emphasis is on discipling and practically training believers of every age and stage of life to take every opportunity in their personal lives to share the Gospel. We cover a broad range of topics, and interns are encouraged and mentored to study deeper in the areas of ministry that interest them most.

MGA is part of the Missionary Department of Missionary Gospel Church. Members of any Bible-believing congregation are welcome to apply.

Our Motto

Inspire. Equip. Train.

01
INSPIRE

Inspire believers to commit their lives to fulfilling the Great Commission.

02
EQUIP

Equip them with foundational knowledge of the faith and the people they will meet.

03
TRAIN

Train them with practical, hands-on experience in both simulated and real-world settings.

And God does the sending. We believe the Holy Spirit will then send each believer into dedicated ministry, where discipleship in Christ is cultivated.

How It Works

The format

One semester

12 lessons, plus orientation, a final review, and a closing celebration.

Wednesday evenings

Weekly classes begin with dinner, fellowship, and memory verses, followed by testimonies and the lesson.

Weekend labs & field trips

Role-play labs and field trips such as sidewalk ministry, a rehab center visit, and a cultural learning center.

Real-world outreach

Interns take what they learn to the streets through street evangelism and personal encounters.

Who it's for

  • A commitment to prayer and holiness
  • A burning desire to fulfill the Great Commission
  • A baptized member of a Bible-believing congregationExceptions with a personal recommendation from congregational leadership
  • Age 15 or olderExceptions with a personal recommendation from congregational leadership
  • English language proficiency

Classes are small, with up to 20 missionary interns per semester, for more personal training on the local mission field.

The goal

Interns are equipped and challenged to seize the opportunities they meet every day to share the glorious Gospel.

They are also encouraged to consider a dedicated calling to one of the outreach ministries covered in the academy, or to others such as prison ministry, foster care outreach, senior care, sex trafficking prevention and rescue, and New Age outreach, within their local congregation.

Only some believers are called to be pastors and evangelists, but all believers are commissioned to witness the great Gospel in their day-to-day lives.

Lessons are recorded and available to current and former MGA interns. An online curriculum is planned for the future.
