WHERE WE TRAIN

One PLI | Six Regions

In six regions around the world, PLI equips and empowers regional and local partners to train pastors, spouses, and ministry leaders in their own networks to lead the mission of God. Over and over, we see that when we train leaders, not only do we see transformational growth in them, but we also see vibrant ministries that are connecting many more people to Jesus.

What participants around the world are saying

“Senior Leader was great. It’s taking everything I learned in seminary and adding to it. It taught me how to identify candidates, conduct an interview, write a job description, and onboard new staff. We recently hired a part-time children’s director and were able to get her launched quickly and with clarity. Also, the teaching on financial stewardship has been so helpful. During the pandemic, it taught me how to stabilize our financial situation.”

“God has given me unique gifts. I need to lean into those gifts and not be something I’m not. He has called me here to serve his people. I don’t ever want to forget what an honor that is. PLI Leadership Essentials helped me see the mission again. I think I was running the risk of trying to operate the program, and I was starting to forget the mission that was in front of me every day.”

“PLI’s program addresses a very practical, relevant needs in the ministry today. The opportunity to participate with my spouse was very helpful… the kind of practical connection that is one of the hallmarks of the PLI program. This complements other pastoral conferences that are more theologically focused. PLI focuses more on strengthening the pastoral toolbox for ministering and guiding the ministry.”
