Abstract
The study investigated missiological education and intercultural characteristics as predictors of the Redeemed College of Mission: practical trip in the Redeemed Christians Church of God, Southwest, Nigeria. There has not been any empirical study known to the research that is related or similar to this study. Three two hypothetical statements were formulated and tested to guide the study at .05 level of the significance. The study applied survey research design. A sample of 518 respondents was used for the study. The research instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire titled: Missiological Education and Intercultural Characteristics indices Questionnaire (MEICIQ). It contained 40 adapted items on a Liker scale. The instrument was subjected to face, content validity and construct validity and the Cronbach Alpha reliability estimate 0.83 was obtained. The data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression statistics. The results revealed that the regression correlation (R) is .075, R square equals .006 and Adjusted R square equals .000. This implies that the combination contributed 0.6% to the variation on practical trip. Hence, analysis of variance (ANOVA) produced F (3, 5145) equals 0.972; p>.05. This implies that it is not significant on practical trip. The result shows contribution of the individual variables factors; school facilities=0.061, t=1.375; p>.05; intercultural characteristics (B=0.04, t= 0.911; p>.05); training and development (B=0.008, t= .185; p>.05). In conclusion, the analysis of the result shows that school facilities, intercultural characteristics, training and development programme have no significant relationship with practical trip in the RCCG. Hence, it was recommended that the church administration should provide resources, facilities and support for Redeemed College of Mission.
