Foundation for Cross-Cultural Education (FCE)

Since 1990, FCE has been involved in training Christ-centred, missions-minded professionals in the sphere of education and training.

‘With a unique emphasis on discipleship and leadership, FCE’s training seeks to develop each student as a whole person. Character training is integrated with professional skills training through an emphasis on transformation and renewal of the mind (Romans 12: 1-2). With over a dozen nations represented, FCE’s international character adds another layer of life-changing richness to the learning experience.’ 

Our relationship with FCE spans over 19 years. Over this time our connection with its people has had a profound effect on our people and organisation - both MCF and MCC. 

As a Church, MCF shares a vision with FCE about making disciples and using education as a tool for transforming lives.
