Who is Leadership Resources?
Who is Leadership Resources International? What do they do? And what will I be doing with them? (And what is TNT?)

The Last Five Years
For those of you who still aren’t sure what I’ve been doing the last few years, or for those wondering how I found out about Leadership Resources, this will help fill in the gaps.

The Vision of Training Pastors Overseas
Most pastors overseas have little or no formal Bible training, and most will never have the opportunity to go to a Bible school or seminary to get it.
Leadership Resources sees the task of addressing that need as vital, and they are working to launch pastoral training movements around the world because they know that training pastors and church leaders overseas has these significant effects:

Pastors teach and preach God’s Word faithfully. Pastors learn to study the the Bible carefully and preach in a way that is faithful to what the Bible actually says.

Churches grow healthier, stronger, and more secure as they are rooted in God’s Word. Churches avoid heresy and unsound teaching as they are firmly grounded in God’s Word.

National pastors and churches become less dependent on Western missionaries. Missionaries want churches and pastors to learn to stand on their own. Training helps national church leaders to look to God’s Word for themselves and depend less on the missionary.

The work of ministry and missions is put into the hands of the national church. The national church can do the work of ministry and missions themselves – and more effectively in their own countries than missionaries from the outside can. But they have to be adequately grounded and equipped first.
The pastors that Leadership Resources is working with are often on the edge of the “10/40 window” – places around the world where some of the most unreached people groups are located. These pastors and their churches know the language and the culture and can move more freely in and out of places that American missionaries could not easily go.

There are things that God has put in thechurch in the US that we don’t have in Africa. And so, it makes sense… that both sides work together for the gospel of Jesus and the Kingdom of God. …There are places that we can go that our American brothers and sisters cannot go. And so, the whole idea of partnership is Scriptural. It’s the way God wants missions to be done...
