Trainings Explanations

Training of Trainers I
Training of Trainers I (TOT I) equips people to become trainers of Community Health Evangelist (CHEs). The
intent is that they will choose a location in which to start their own Community Health Evangelism (CHE)
program. TOT I focuses on the development philosophy of what CHE is and how to start a CHE program.
Spiritually, it emphasizes evangelism. As a result of TOT I, the trainers are to return to their area, choose a
community in which to work, enter that community and create interest within that community to implement
their own CHE program. Training Dates.

Training of Trainers II
Once a trainer has mobilized his community, he returns for the second phase of training. Training of Trainers II
(TOT II) focuses on developing teaching materials, methods and curriculum. Spiritually, we emphasize followup of new believers. As a result, the trainers are ready to train committee members and CHEs. Training
Dates.

Training of Trainers III

Training of Trainers III (TOT III) focuses on the evaluation of the project as well as how to multiply the project
into other areas. As a result of multiplication, this seminar also deals with management. Spiritually, the
emphasis is on discipleship. Not all trainers come to this seminar: only those who will have responsibility for
evaluation, multiplication and management of their project. Training Dates.

CHE/TOT
CHE/TOT is a specialized seminar primarily for nationals who live in a creative access country, and who will be
the only CHE worker in a village. The seminar incorporates 12 hours of TOT I to give the participants an
overview of how a CHE program works. It also gives them health and development teaching in order that they
can directly help their neighbors physically. Training Dates.

MMI and Appr Tech (EQUIP)

Medical Ambassadors International (MAI) collaborates with EQUIP who provides an intensive two-week,
medical-training program (MMI) for lay people living in isolated areas so they can care for their own health.
They also train lay people in agriculture, small animal husbandry and appropriate technology so they can exist
in isolated areas. Training Dates.

ME (Micro-Enterprise)
The purpose of Micro-Enterprise is to educate and train individuals and finance new, very small enterprises to
improve the participants and their families' economic stability and well-being. The increased employment and
family income improves the diet, health and overall well-being of a given family. These participants do not
normally have access to such services. Training Dates.

CHEPS
CHEPS is an acronym for Community Health Evangelism Perinatal Support. Within the CHE program we have
created a pregnancy support and education program. Specially trained CHEs are enabked to teach important
pregnancy issues which promote healthy pregnancies and provide emotional support throughout the pregnancy
and postpartum period, including infant care. Monthly home visits and group sessions are conducted for
"Moms" in the village. Training Dates.
