Based on the experiences, observations, and challenges of these men, the following important issues were chosen for the Mission School Curriculum. Some of the more critical topics were:

• Character development
• Outmoded methods and ideas of effective missions outreach.
• High rate of attrition of missionaries--two of the most frequent reasons were:
  • A. Understanding the cost involved to one's own life
  • B. Relationships between fellow missionaries
• Difficulty of adjusting to cultural and ethnic customs
• All the skills needed for successful missions outreach

Out of the many lecture hours that were recorded, two hundred and fourty hours were selected for the curriculum. One of the key elements chosen for the curriculum was that of character building. The curriculum, therefore, begins with character development and then moves on to mission skill-sessions.
