| Σύνοψη: | Ministry to nomads is challenging due to the demands of living in nomadic contexts. New workers for nomads need to be able to persevere and, eventually, thrive in the face of these challenges. This article explores the views of 37 missionaries to nomads concerning how best to prepare new workers. It outlines the major initial challenges new workers face and presents the personal characteristics that may promote success. The particular qualities, skills, and knowledge that experienced workers recommend for novices and how these could be developed are explained. There is a strong emphasis on learning by immersion, with experienced missionaries and local people walking alongside to help new workers. Just as ministry among nomads must be holistic, training for workers to nomads should holistically integrate spiritual, character, relational, skill, and knowledge development. |
