Leadership Development

Empowering Indigenous Leaders

Serving national and church leaders in partnership is the foundation of our ministry. We are called to support and develop these leaders so that they can disciple other leaders. We empower leaders by:

Enabling national leaders to develop a vision and strategy and make final ministry decisions for their ministry area.
Not owning property or facilities; all property will be owned by national churches or local groups.
Developing leaders who make leaders.
Equipping through mentoring, coaching, and skills training.
Assisting with limited financial support.
Assisting in developing networks and partnerships.
Modeling servant leadership.
Providing spiritual encouragement and inspiration.
Using international training teams and not just North Americans.

Training for Biblical Leadership

Effective local churches that make disciples and have a global mission require godly, trained leaders equipped with heart, mind, and skills to guide them. Training leaders to minister to and help develop others is the most important task that we have. We train others through:
Assisting with higher education where strategically important. Developing contextually appropriate educational models in partnership with national leaders.
Providing solid biblical and theological training that is both practical and theologically sound.
Conducting pastors’ conferences, revivals, spiritual renewal meetings, and other special events as needed.
Utilizing the learning and communication patterns of other cultures.
