The Encarnação Alliance works with the Lord in preparing for 50,000 workers from the slums to the slums. Its Training Commission is working with a cluster of institutions in different continents to create an MA in Urban Leadership and BA level training for 5,000 of these.

• A Movement Leadership Degree
• Training church-planters and entrepreneurial leaders into movement leaders, advocates and cross-cultural workers.
• Learning theology by doing theology
• Living and working among the urban poor
• Outcome-based educational processes
