    Dear Readers,<\/p>\n

    Ready for some armchair travel or training? We\u2019re excited to tell you about great websites for families with third-culture kids as well as a new web-based service for managing short-term teams called \u201cMy Mission Journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

    A good number of webinars and web-based workshops are planned for October. These include a four-session series for mission leaders and several webinars from Missio Nexus. DELTA Ministries has a webinar on managing risk for short-term teams. Sixteen:Fifteen is offering a free, three-part series for sending churches dealing with missionary care (more info on this below).<\/p>\n

    Several longer courses are about to launch as well, including another six-week course from the Mobile Ministry Forum on using mobile technology for ministry, and an online \u201cPerspectives\u201d class. To learn more, see the events list below (which also includes events where people actually meet face to face!)<\/p>\n

    I\u2019ve recently learned of several ministries that work with mission groups to provide high-quality online training courses for cross-cultural workers. Check out Crosswired<\/a> and Grow2serve<\/a>. I\u2019m also keeping an eye on several newer projects, Culture Voyager<\/a> and Missions Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Few (if any) of these sites and services could have existed when Missions Catalyst began tracking mission resources twenty years ago. Isn\u2019t it great to see today\u2019s technologies harnessed for the kingdom? May God be glorified!<\/p>\n
