At the Asian Cross-Cultural Training Institute (ACTI), prospective cross-cultural Christian workers from across the world meet the real challenges of cross-cultural living in cosmopolitan Singapore. They learn first-hand the intricacies of interpersonal relationships, stress management, raising and keeping a missionary family together, and above all, practising true discipleship.
Formal lectures in mission theology, anthropology and linguistics, as well as comparitive studies in world religions and major cultures, provide the background for a better understanding of the wider world. The city-state of Singapore, with its distinctive cultural mix exemplified in the neighbourhood where ACTI is located offers ample opportunities for a taste of urban and suburban evangelism.
