Training Material for National Leaders

_______________

Ministry training materials are essential for leadership development. Part of our ministry to missions includes the purchasing of books for national pastors. These resources assist these leaders to better understand their responsibilities and to improve upon their leadership skills. This aspect of ministry also enriches the personal relationships we have developed with national pastors and church leaders.

Books written by holiness leaders enables national Christians to better understand what is meant by our Wesleyan-Arminian theology. Encouraging these leaders to pursue the deeper walk with the Lord is critical to the development of spiritually solid local churches.

There is a great need among national pastors and lay leadership. We repeatedly hear the cry from them. They are asking for seminars related to church work and leadership development. They are not asking for resident missionaries to do the church work for them. They are asking for training so that they are enabled to shoulder the responsibilities and do the work themselves. This is an awesome ministry opportunity for national leadership development.

Steve is pondering the beginnings of such leadership training. As he develops the curriculum, he and Joy will need to go on site to present this training to the nationals. As you think of this training opportunity, please join in prayer regarding this angle of ministry.
