Going as a missionary or sending a missionary without proper training is quite reckless, and one of the most critical components of missionary preparation is intercultural readiness. This research was conducted to study the means to enhance one's intercultural readiness and to measure its four sub-domain components that are likely to enable such a meaningful preparation at pre-departure stage. A group of 45 missions trainees at the Evangelical Alliance for Preacher Training/Commission's School of Mission in Seoul, Korea were split into two groups, and quasi-experimental research was made on these groups through pre-test and post-test design. The research carefully examined whether EAPTC's Missionary Candidate Training program could be another option for training the missionary candidates for effective cross-cultural performance with greater longevity on their field experience.
