Project Host Organizations: Host organizations, churches or other ministries interested in applying for a international training project must be non-profit religious organizations with activities that include ministry to children and their teachers / leaders.

The host organization must have the resources to provide for the following:

• Arrangements for the training sites
• Translation of training materials that may be required.
• If required for non-English speaking settings provision of translators costs for the training team. The translator’s costs would include their travel, meals, accommodations and any stipend that would be required.
• Duplication of the translated student materials for the number of participants and sites planned. (The INCM $500 grant may be applied toward these costs). This grant will be provided once the training project is confirmed and will be provided at least 60 days in advance of the training date.
• Either through registration or ministry resources provide for the site and participant costs where the training will be conducted.
• Make in-country arrangements for the INCM training team to include accommodations, meals and any required in-country travel. (Note: INCM will reimburse fair and reasonable costs for in country accommodation and food/meals, travel for the training team.)
• An in country project budget must be provided and approved by INCM prior to the training project.

Statement of Faith considerations: Organizations desiring to partner with INCM should have a statement of faith that is compatible with INCM’s beliefs.  

Training Project Schedule:  INCM desires to work with the host organization to provide a training project schedule that will be compatible with the needs of the host organization. In general, training projects for the INCM team should be considered for no longer than 10 days from date of departure of the INCM training team members to date of return. The in-country training can be accomplished in a centralized location or can be conducted as a two or three site tour project. For general considerations the actual training schedule can be planned for a two-night, three-day program. Other schedule arrangements can be considered and modified for a one day or two day training.

Note: The following is only a sample-training schedule. If desired, the training could be held in two days beginning at 9:00 a.m. the first morning and ending mid afternoon on the second day. Other arrangements of a schedule can also be considered.
