Yes, FAME uses a training program called Missions Academy. Each trip participant receives access to the program and is assigned specific modules to complete before the trip.
The training is designed to be interactive, with the online material complemented by Zoom or in-person meetings where participants discuss what they’ve learned, ask questions, and get to know one another as a team before serving together.
Along with the online platform, each participant receives three books. The first is a Field Guide, which serves as a workbook for taking notes and completing exercises throughout the training. The second is a 30-Day Devotional, which team members work through in the weeks leading up to their departure. The third is a Re-Entry Journal, designed to help participants process their experiences and continue reflecting on what God taught them after they return home.
