Training in Relationship-based Research

Whew! It’s been a long and sometimes boulder-strewn path but I’m pleased to announce we’ve reached the end (or the beginning?) We’re ready to launch our online course in ethnographic research (aka, “drinking tea with people and listening to their stories!”)

My co-workers and I created Encounter Culture: Developing Research-informed Ministry so that people anywhere in the world can receive training in cultural learning – the kind that the research teams I work with have been doing for decades.

Maybe you know somebody (or are somebody!) who can use these skills. Encounter Culture is for Christian workers, church planters, strategists, short-term teams, and anyone pioneering a new, cross-cultural ministry or seeking deeper insights into the culture in which they find themselves (close to home or far away).

Can you help us spread the word? The first class will be September 15th to December 15.

Online Training in Relationship-based Research

Pioneering new ministry or seeking deeper insights into the culture where you live? Learn relationship-based research techniques used by short-term teams, church planters, strategists, and students around the world since 1988. Encounter Culture is a 10-week experiential training course developed by Caleb Resources using the book, “Exploring the Land.” A class begins September 15, 2009, and the next one is scheduled for January 15, 2010.
