LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

Missionaries to Leaders Around the World

The foreign missions movement is changing! These are exciting days for the Body of Jesus Christ. This is particularly true in missions. For nearly a century, mission leaders have envisioned planting national churches, churches that would grow by themselves, support themselves and be led by themselves. In the last two decades, a number of factors have led to this goal being taken seriously.

If missions is changing, missionaries must change also! Typically, the first questions one asks a missionary are, ``What country are you going to... What people group in that country?'' Our answers are somewhat non-traditional. God has called us to a special ``people group,'' church leaders, worldwide.

We have a special burden for leaders in the developing world. Our special focus is key leaders who are reproducing themselves. Relationships that we have developed over the last 26 years of ministry give us opportunities to minister on five continents. Being based in the States removes the limitation of needing resident visas and keeps local leaders from becoming dependent on us.

The impact of our ministry is four fold:

Serving key national leaders through personal relationships

Consulting leaders on principle ministry issues

Developing leadership training materials to assist leaders in reproducing themselves

Leadership seminars and retreats taught in a number of States and in 19 countries around the world

Leading ministry teams to several countries

Bible College administration and teaching

Assist in organizing and participating in conferences and strategy meetings

Preaching in many churches, mobilizing and stirring believers to the Great Commission

Conference speaker

Preaching outreaches in local churches around the globe give us the

opportunity to share in the great last day harvest for the Master and His Kingdom!
