Welcome to Slum Leaders' Training of Trainers

Across the globe evey year, hundreds of millions move into the global slums -twice dispossessed, seeking out a living as they can, setting where they are not molested, hoping for a better urban future. And among them the Lord has been raising up faithful servants - shepherds, evangelists, diaconal workers caring for physical needs.

But who trains these pastors? The churches remain ill equipped to face the immense issues in which they are born. That is where a global connection fo training mediated throughlocal facilitiators supplemented by training structure delivered via cell phones becomes a necessity.

The plan is to gather a cluster of existing trainers, spend five sessions working together, on the following:

Discussions

• Week 1: Introductions, current experience

  1. * Describe background, breadth of ministry, style of leadership, vision

     * Four steps to a discipleship training movement in the developing world (PowerPoint, John Edmiston)
