A field experience is kind of like an internship. Field internships are usually custom-designed for each future missionary, and are often best served in teams of 2-5, or as a family, but occasionally can be solo. It is an option for EFM to provide a salary during the field experience. Just like any short-term or long-term\/career missionary service assignments, EFM equips participants to successfully raise all funds necessary to cover the cost to complete an assignment.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.servicereef.com\/events\/evangelical-friends-mission\/future-missionary-missiology-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26849 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FM-Missiology-Training-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FM-Missiology-Training-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FM-Missiology-Training-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FM-Missiology-Training-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FM-Missiology-Training-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FM-Missiology-Training.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>EFM encourages everyone in our churches to take the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course so they can become more familiar with God&#8217;s overall mission for His church.
