A diverse group of leaders recently participated in a World Impact Church Plant School in Louisville, Kentucky.
Leaders came to the school from three different groups.
The first group reaches incarcerated men and women through multiple avenues including World Impact’s Trauma Healing, and now Church Planting.
A group of leaders from several different Congolese churches in the Louisville area came to be trained in how to help plant new churches and to strengthen existing but struggling Congolese churches across the Great Lakes region.
The third group came from World Impact partner organization Mission of Hope Africa, which works in the most rural areas of Kenya to spread the Gospel and desperately needed ministry training under the leadership of Isaac Aduda.
Fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission
Even though multiple countries, languages, and cultures were represented and highlighted, everyone understood the vision of fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission.
The World Impact team introduced a new approach to the PLANT curriculum at the Louisville school. “What we did is we simplified the process, simplified the material, and made it more succinct and more adaptable,” said World Impact Senior Ministry Developer, Jordan King. “The teams seemed to really enjoy it.”
Because of this school, more leaders now possess the training and empowerment they need to reach their communities, both in the United States and around the world, with the Gospel.
New Churches from the Great Lakes to Kenya
Newly trained leaders plan to start a church inside a hotel in the Great Lakes region, where 30 returning citizens now face life after prison and need support. Mission of Hope Africa has a goal to plant 25 churches in rural Kenya with the effective training they have received.
King is thankful for your generous support of World Impact’s ministry, which greatly increases his ability to reach undertrained leaders.
“That giving enables us to spend in-depth time with these teams, help equip them well, encourage their calling, and help them think through where God is leading them,” King said. “Without it, there would be a lot more barriers along the way.”
Your prayers, donations, and encouragement allow leaders around the world to receive the training and resources they need to serve those in their communities.
