Our Work
LDI prepares and coaches pre-field and veteran cross-cultural missionaries by providing a superior training program for cross-culture workers in Southeast Asia. LDI’s program serves those going and those administering international missions programs. LDI trains believers to be more effective in global missions. We provide both individuals and groups with short training programs and on-going coaching for ministry implementation.
Our Format
We use retreat and conference formats to train and equip believers for cross-cultural ministry. The coursework is designed at a continuing education level, adaptable to the needs of the participants. The training is provided in various locations in Southeast Asia as well as by invitation in North America.
