The Missionary Development Path and the Missionary Development Internship are how PCG Global Education helps a person become a missionary. The aim of the sending is to give every person one chance to hear the Gospel.

Missionary Development Path

SIXTEEN WEEKS ONLINE. TEN DAYS ON THE FIELD.

The Missionary Development Path, often called MDP, is 16 weeks of online studies plus 10 days of application on the field. Online study runs from August through November. The trip is in December. Registration is open. This page does not list a program fee. Giving amounts, when a person is ready to support a missionary, stay on the Give page.

Global Education describes the wider journey in five movements: local formation in a church or national movement, a biblical foundation through online studies and the Pentecostal Theological Consortium, credential pathways through Messenger College and national colleges, mission formation through MDP, MDI, and Mission One Eleven, then frontier preparation through Uttermost training and supervised field experience.

The department page that introduces this path is Global Education. The same sentence is kept on Departments, inside Global Education's entry.
