We at Leadership International gratefully celebrate testimonials from those we have served and trained. Also be sure to see the endorsements we have received below.
Pastor Malungisa – South Africa
Pastor David – northern Africa
“When I join the course, it gave me an idea to grow the number of my church members from 25 to 75 as we had the assignments that sent us to preach to five people, pray for five people and teach five people what we have been taught, I also divided this assignment to my church members that resulted to the increase in the number of believers every Sunday. I am really very glad for the favor the lord has given to us through global call and leadership international.”
Pastor in Himalayas
“God called to me in this place to establish a church, but in the beginning I had no idea how to lead a church at that time. So, I went to participate in other churches to learn about leading the church. Then I started church services here.
But I never got a chance to go to bible school, or training center. 5 years ago, I asked for training with [Leadership International] for our leaders. Eventually God has given us an opportunity to organize the training center. This training is very important for us. I learned new subjects as well. We are continuing praying to complete all courses. We have a big area of non-Christian villages. Our church is praying to reach there”.
Pastor Magar – South Asia
“This training gave me the opportunity to learn about important subjects for leading the church as a pastor. I got a chance to understand God’s mission, the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I also learned about the Trinity. I also learned about the church and its structures. Everything is clear about God’s mission.”
Pastor Sandiso Mkwananzi – Zimbabwe
“I came to this organization young, confused, and still trying to find myself…The Leadership support in terms of training gave me tools to be rooted in Christ and have my spiritual gifts stirred up. Leadership International was not just a sponsor but a parent to me that cared through the lovely staff who became a part of my life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What I am harvesting now are just seeds selflessly planted in my life by being part and parcel of this great organization.”
Pastor Uddhad – South Asia
“When talking about another pastor without Biblical training during COVID-19 who left to go back to the occult, he expresses the need of pastoral training. “Biblical training is needed in the local churches for the churches – a group of pastors and leaders – [s]o that they can serve for the church in all the circumstances.”
Pastor Rai – South Asia
“Even though people viewed me as a leader, deep down in my heart I knew that I had little understanding of Leadership…[I]t enabled me to work better in the ministry. I am using these teaching materials in my church and wherever I go for the ministry.”
Pastor Ndlovu – Zimbabwe
“I attended the class when a friend of mine shared with me how these lessons transformed his own life…As I went through the training, scales were falling off of my spiritual eyes and this has helped me to be a regular Bible reader.”
Pastor James – South Asia
(I am) presently pastoring a church with 28 families. I have been pastoring for nearly 21 years… Although I have attended many seminars, conventions and training regarding Leadership, this Christian Leadership Training is different than the others. This training gives me the very core meaning and deep knowledge which changed my perspective about Leadership.”
Evans Ankomahene – Ghana
“I thank God for the great opportunity to be part of this leadership course. This is the best among all the Bible training programs I have attended so far. The school has changed my life for the better beyond my expectation. It has helped me to know how to prepare sermons, transformed my life to know how to relate to people and how to share the gospel with other people.”
Robert Abuya – Kenya
“The courses are very transformational in the lives of the students. I realized that by reaching out to men of all ages (it) can enable the church to mobilizing a movement of servants to fulfill the Great Commission… By empowering men, one has empowered (the) family, church, and the entire community.”
Terry Adams, Director of Discovery and Outreach at Valor High School
As I have spent time with Leadership International’s staff, in the U.S. and in southern Africa and as I have observed their training in action, I am impressed with their dedication, devotion, expertise and the caliber of their training materials. I have experienced first hand the deep appreciation by African pastors who otherwise would not have training accessible. Keep in mind, these are pastors who deeply love Jesus Christ and want to see His Kingdom expand and who are willing to live sacrificially to spread the Good News, but who have had very little training.
God has and continues to bless and use Leadership International in effective and important training at all levels of Christian leadership. This is a ministry which is committed to make available quality training materials and onsite teaching sessions to thousands of pastors who would not otherwise be able to access such training. Where possible, Leadership International also seeks to meet the physical needs of not only the pastors but others in areas where they serve. Valor Christian High School has served for two years in a row with Leadership International in Capetown, South Africa. It has been a joy and an eye-opening and enriching outreach to the poor and marginalized in this post-apartheid country. Students and leaders were able to spend time with many people who live on the fringes of both Capetown and of a vibrant economic structure, but who are struggling to survive. These teams have returned transformed by and through their experience through their engagement with people living out of completely different worldviews and in a totally different cultural context.
In my 25 years of traveling the world serving with mission organizations, few are as effective at meeting the theological and spiritual needs, of pastors in developing areas, as is Leadership International.
Daniel Mondi, Government Administrative Chief in Mt. Elgon, Kenya
“As a chief I found myself using excessive force on the people I lead. As a believer and an elder in my local church my administrative style was wanting and disturbing because people could not understand my administrative role and my faith. So when I learned about the leadership training center which had began in town, I decided to join but it took a lot of humbling to be in a class with people I lead. After a few courses I started seeing some change in my life particularly with my attitude and behavior. The anger and ashiness I had when dealing with community issues was changing. When I started applying the principles I was learning to my family it seemed to work. I’m finding myself being a servant leader and a friend unlike before. This training has given me some transformative skills for my administrative work and my family. I pray this training to continue here for my community. Thank you Leadership International for coming to our aid.”
Bishop Moses Machasi Ndiema from Mt. Elgon, Kenya
“I lead more than 10 congregations with a population of 400 members. When I joined [Leadership International] I was looking for skills to help me in leading the flock which God put under my care. This course did not only sharpen me for the church work but it transformed me as person and revolutionizing my understanding of leadership. I’m practicing this at home with my family. I now see myself as a servant but not a tyrant boss. My prayer is to take the transformation to the people I’m serving with so as to transform them.”
Pastor Matthew
“This is a transformative program for both the church and church leaders. I will carry it on to my own congregation.”
Pastor Kenneth Akomea Koah from Ghana
“This training has really helped me a lot especially during training of teachers for children’s ministry, Pastor’s seminars and conferences. I am able to answer the questions most pastors ask with ease. It was also helped me to teach with understanding, confidence and clarity. The knowledge acquired here in addition to my qualification in Christian ministry has helped me to teach children’s ministry in some Bibles School s in Sunyani and Techiman.”
Pastor Samuel Kwame Aniponsah
“It has raised my confidence level in the ministry. Also fear and panic that bothered me when I was in front of the congregation are all gone.”
Pastor Acheaw S.W. Pingle
“This institution has taught me ways of witnessing to other people. It has also enhanced my understanding of the Scripture.”
Adu Kofi Saraphine
“I have been enrolled in this BTPC program for about 18 months now. I have over the period gained better biblical knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures. I have, as a result, become more committed to my Christian faith.”
Pastor Kwadwo Yeboah
“Through the school, I have gained more confidence in preaching the Word of God in public. The school has helped me to learn and develop my spiritual life. And through the teachings, I have learned how to be a good leader.”
Pastor Mark Anponsah
“I have acquired a lot of knowledge from the Bible Training for Church Leaders and Pastors since enrolling some 18 months ago in the areas of Bible knowledge, leadership, and church administration.”
Alangu Emmanuel, leader of ‘Jesus in Action Evangelic Ministry’ in Sunyani, Ghana
“I was lacking in the skills and knowledge in interpreting the Word of God, but through this educative program, I am now able to interpret the Scripture better through the help of the Holy Ghost.”
