Preparing to Serve
Dr. David Harley (Cambridge, Bistrol University, ANCC, Columbia International University) and his wife, Rosemary, worked as missionaries in Ethiopia. After returning to the U.K., they taught for fifteen years at All Nations Christian College in the U.K., where David was Principal from 1985-1993. His doctoral dissertation from Columbia International University was on missionary training centers in the Two-Thirds World. The Harleys together served as Mission Training Consultants of Crosslinks (an Anglican missionary society) and as International Missionary Training Associates with the WEF Missions Commission. David is an ordained Anglican.
He also outlines thoughtful criteria for selecting trainees and identifies the hallmarks of effective training: spiritual formation, ministry competence, emotional and relational maturity, and contextual adaptability. Central to the book is the concept of holistic equipping—engaging the head (knowledge), heart (character), and hands (skills). Brynjolfson emphasizes the value of a contextualized curriculum and the need for ongoing, intentional assessment of both the training process and the participants.
