International (MNN) ― This month, Global Advance has been involved in 14 training events in South Africa, Russia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, India, Nigeria, Peru, Turkey, and the Philippines.
One of the greatest joys of Global Advance's ministry is to pass the baton of training nationals to national leaders themselves. Just as Paul urged Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2 to entrust faithful leaders to teach others, Global Advance is endeavoring to do the same.
Through the financial resources and training materials of Global Advance, thousands of leaders are being equipped by nationals. In the past two weeks, pastors' training events have been held in Russia, Zimbabwe, India, and Nigeria. Global Advance Russian partner Illya writes, "Thank you for the resources you've provided to help us equip and encourage God's people in Siberia."
Frontline Shepherds Conferences are conducted around the world. These events are catalysts for church planting and indigenous missions efforts. The goal is to provide national pastors and church leaders with a vision in their hearts for the advance of the Gospel.
Another segment of Global Advance training programs is known as "Marketplace Missions"-- initiatives that provide a conduit for U.S. business leaders to invest their skills, knowledge, and experience in the lives of emerging marketplace leaders. Training Christian businessmen and women in developing nations increases economic and spiritual capital throughout the world.
Today, Global Advance is able to utilize national teams who have been trained to train. Even so, the team is asking for your prayers as this grueling pace continues. They're also inviting you to partner with them financially in these mission outreaches.
More people than ever are begging for the Gospel. That means more hearts are turning to Christ which means trained church leaders are needed. Click here if you can help.
