Leadership Development

Training godly leaders in the church for faithful, fruitful ministry.

The Need & The Impact

While the evangelical church is growing across South America, particularly among the urban poor, many church leaders have limited access to ongoing training and theological education. Equipping pastors and ministry leaders with the tools for church planting and discipleship among the least-reached people groups enables local churches to extend the hope of the Gospel beyond their own communities, bringing gospel transformation to those who have yet to hear.

What the Fund is Set Up For

We identify godly men and women already serving in their local churches and offer financially accessible training opportunities designed to increase the church’s impact in South America for the kingdom. Many of these church leaders have the desire, but lack the knowledge. We strive to provide training to direct their efforts towards effective evangelism and healthy church planting.

Why It Matters

While statistics indicate steady evangelical church growth across much of South America, many minority populations, especially in more rural areas, are seriously underserved and therefore unreached by the gospel. South America needs more church leaders equipped to look beyond their specific communities and challenge their congregations to answer the call of the Great Commission to “Go therefore and make disciples…” of those who still have not heard.

Invitation to Partner

By donating to the leadership development fund, you can be a part of strategically investing to contribute to local church efforts to expand the kingdom and transform communities in the name and for the sake of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
