Zambia Church Leadership Training (April 19 - May 5)

Our team will be teaching the top 35 leaders of the Pilgrim Wesleyan denomination in Zambia, including their board of directors and senior leadership team. The material will be taken from our Maximum Kingdom IMPACT! Christian leadership program and the participants will duplicate this training in multiple venues over the following months.  When the rest of the team returns on April 27, Eric Angel (our Assistant Director of Missions) will remain in Zambia to join with others in leading the International Leadership Institute national conference in Livingstone, Zambia. These conferences bring together 30 pastors from across the country who have already committed to leading regional conferences of their own, ensuring multiplied impact of this effort.
