Cross Cultural Training

Gateway Center Programs

The Gateway Training Center focuses on providing training and experience for growth and development for those who have a calling for cross-cultural ministry to serve effectively in any context.

Athens, as the largest and capital city of Greece, is a crossroads between the East and the West, Europe and the Middle East/North Africa, and between Christianity and Islam. It is a city where civilizations meet and cultures fuse, where refugees from Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia find shelter. It is also where the Lord is using His children to reach out to people from many cultures to witness about the Good News of Jesus Christ, show compassion and love, and tend to the various needs for people from many nations!

Why Cross-Cultural Training Matters

The Gospel is for every nation, every culture, and every heart. But to share it effectively, we need wisdom, understanding, and practical experience.

That’s why the 3-Month Cross-Cultural Training Program at Gateway Training Center (starting March 15 in Athens, Greece) equips believers to:

📖 Build a strong biblical foundation.
🤝 Engage with people from diverse cultures with respect and compassion.
🌐 Partner in real outreach alongside local churches and ministries.

👉 Begin your journey today — applications are now open!

📖 Verse of the Week

“For in him we live and move and have our being.”
— Acts 17:28

These words were spoken by Paul in Athens at the Areopagus, reminding the Greeks — and us today — that our whole existence is sustained by God.

At Gateway Training Center, we invite you to walk where Paul once stood and discover how the Gospel speaks into every culture and every life.

Did You Know?👀

The Apostle Paul wrote 1 & 2 Thessalonians to the church in Thessaloniki — encouraging believers to stay strong in their faith while facing persecution.

Thessaloniki remains a powerful reminder that the Gospel takes root even in the midst of hardship, bringing hope that endures across generations.

👣 Walk Where Paul Walked | Corinth

Did you know the Apostle Paul once stood trial at the Bema Seat in Corinth? (Acts 18:12–17)

Here, he was brought before Gallio, the Roman proconsul, accused by local leaders for preaching the Gospel. But Gallio dismissed the case, allowing Paul to continue sharing Christ’s message — a powerful reminder that God’s plan cannot be stopped.

Join our Fall In Greece (FIG) program and you’ll have the chance to stand in this very place where history and faith intersect, and experience the Bible come alive in Greece.
