Church Leader Conferences
ELLS International partners with regional and local leaders in remote places of the developing world to conduct large group conferences for practical instruction in biblical and expository preaching. Conference participants are then invited to join a three-year training cohort for more in-depth instruction and training so they will be equipped to become trainers themselves. |
Leadership Training Cohort
A Leadership Training Cohort (LTC) is comprised of 25-50 pastors with proven character, heart for Christ’s great commission (Matt. 28:16-20), and a willingness to teach/train others. Each LTC will meet three times a year over a three-year period, covering a total of nine training modules on biblical interpretation, theology, preaching and leadership/mission. Those who finish the training will receive a certificate of completion and will be encouraged to help lead future cohorts with ELLS International. Our hope is to eventually have LTC’s led primarily by nationals. |
Missional Cooperatives
Along with our focus on biblical/expository preaching, ELLS International also equips pastors and leaders to understand the role of the local church within the wider mission of God to bring salvation to all peoples of the earth. To that end, we are seeking to develop relationships and collaborate with national leaders, groups, and organizations training gospel workers who will plant churches among unreached peoples. |
"What ELLS International is doing is exactly the kind of training we need. If our churches are going to be strong, we have to learn how to accurately interpret the Word of God and preach it with integrity. Please help us!"
