- Bootcamp: Your Mission Adventure Starts Here!
Welcome to Bootcamp—a high-energy, missions-focused training program by Grace Ambassadors, part of GraceLife. We’re all about equipping believers to be bold, effective witnesses of Jesus and reach people who may have never even heard of Him.
Bootcamp gives you the essentials of world missions and discipleship. It’s designed to help you understand your purpose, clarify your calling, and get practical tools for living a life that matters. If you’re ready to explore how God can use you in amazing ways, then this is for you!
Is Bootcamp for You?
If you’re considering going full-time in ministry—whether as a pastor, a missionary, or taking your profession to another country as an “undercover” missionary—Bootcamp was made for you! But even if you just want to dive deeper into your faith and make a difference, Bootcamp is an experience that will challenge and inspire you.
What You’ll Experience
Bootcamp is an intense, hands-on program that combines classroom learning with personal discipleship and real-world experience. It’s all about strengthening your faith, finding your purpose, and discovering the joy of living on mission with Jesus. You’ll have opportunities to put your faith into action, get out of your comfort zone, and grow through serving, evangelism, and discipleship.
Schedule:
Bootcamp starts with “School of the Believer” (SotB), which is a 12-part course (open to anyone) focusing on equipping believers to be ambassadors of Christ in daily life. This course is a requirement for everyone wanting to do Bootcamp. SotB runs on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7.30pm to 9:30pm. Dates: January 21, 22, 28, 29, February 4, 5. Sign up to do School of the believer, free-of-charge, here.
Bootcamp School of Missions starts (officially) on Saturday 7 February. Classes will be hosted on Mondays & Thursdays: 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm, and Saturdays: 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.
Classes are live on Zoom, with Saturday sessions available online or in-person at one of our Bootcamp Groups. Some Saturday sessions will include practical hands-on training but for those unable to attend one of our Bootcamp Groups, we will give you practical homework.
We expect students to attend their church gatherings weekly and we encourage you to serve in some capacity.
After the training, all students are required to go on one of our international mission trips in order to graduate. Missions will be in May 2026 to Albania and Belgium, and end-June to Zimbabwe. Mission trips will be around 10 to 14 days each.
No Need to Stress About Finances
In line with our ministry values, we typically don’t charge for any training. However, Bootcamp includes a small fee to cover program costs and encourage students to learn to raise finances and trust God. Upon receiving your application, we’ll provide access to an online course on raising financial support to help you raise the finances you need. Don’t let a lack of money hold you back; take a step of faith! If financial concerns arise, please contact us so we can discuss solutions together.
