Have you ever spent time looking for something only to discover it was right in front of you? Pastors also suffer from this malady when it comes to being a good Christian. It is interesting how sometimes we are so focused on finding something, we miss seeing the obvious. And being a pastor means spending their life learning and experiencing new things each day in this ever-changing world, especially when it comes to churches reaching the unreachable communities or pastors deepening their knowledge and faith.
What is Immersion experience?
The immersion experience is helpful to look at things differently and the way pastors don’t miss the obvious. It invites pastors to experience firsthand the church’s inspiring and diverse missionary work for the people of the world who are moving into our communities every single day. While pastors look for other ways to reach the world, immersion programs are best to form bonds with fellow priests and lay ministers in the communities they visit and get to know more.

Travel experience or immersion experience is the act of surrounding the pastors with the culture of a place. It might be visiting an entirely different place with which pastors can gain exposure to diverse social, cultural, and environmental contexts that can open doors to a deeper understanding of an unfamiliar place. Sometimes, it is helpful to look at things differently and go to a place, interacting with people who live there, but through a cultural experience which can help pastors get better to understand everything a little better.
Pastors become what God intended them:
Though there is no mission-minded church without pastors who set an agenda for them. The immersion or a short-term plan helps take the gospel of Christ where it was intended to go: they will likely turn their heart towards the world.

When they travel it helps the pastors identify their fallen default beliefs, instincts, and behaviors- and then when they meet people which begins the process of infusing back into the believer’s psyche the default beliefs, faith, approaches of the ministry and behaviors that God intended for them to experience daily. Using biblical principles and truth in a uniquely presented concept, the experience addresses the common inner life and relational issues that can easily be remembered and well applied to what they experience on their travels.
Pastors model faith and courage:
Pastors set the example for their congregation when they go. However, the community must also be ready and willing to go both short-term and long-term work to win the world to Jesus with the help of pastors by supporting them. The more they travel the more open-minded they get and discover more about themselves, looking through the biblical lenses, enabling the great truth of goods to penetrate in their souls and go to the depth. To do so, the immersion programs are designed within a small group setting or out in an entirely different setting that gives participants an opportunity to process deeply- about themselves, others, and God.

Pastors get a greater global perspective:
The participants need a global vision and they will be more cross-culturally evangelistic when they return from their cohort program. This experience encourages the pastors and they begin to see that they are not alone in their struggles and problems. While learning new ways and living with unknown communities can develop new ways of understanding themselves and God.
All in all the travel experience is process-oriented and not just surrounding the biblical studies! Cohort members are involved in an intentional process that is designed to help them sort through their inner life and gain actual perspectives of the world around them.
