The Navigator Institute (NI) is the Philippine Navigators’ arm for equipping a generation of laborers among Navigator constituents and the bigger body of Christ. NI serves the following purposes:
- Facilitate the development of deep spirituality (spiritual disciplines) and capacity building primarily for our staff, laborers, and contacts;
- Standardize our training materials and approach (to maintain our distinctive);
- Make training more effective and accessible (adult learning theories, modalities- online, F2F, hands-on, independent, place based, mission field exposure);
- Strengthen the regional training capacity so that region will develop their training programs that respond to their context and be willing to share with other regions; and
- Provide an avenue for research to formulate ideas and approaches to address issues and challenges (e.g., trauma, reaching out to the poor and marginalized, becoming generational leaders); also hermeneutical community (LGBTQ, divorce, remarriage, etc.)
