Touching leaders, changing nations.
International (MNN) ― Global Advance is asking for prayer for eight Global Advance conferences taking place this month. There are six Frontline Shepherds Conferences and two Marketplace Missions Conferences in India, Belarus, and Thailand.
So, who are the Frontline Shepherds? They are on the frontlines of the church's Gospel advance. They are the native pastors, evangelists and church leaders who sacrifice themselves to evangelize and establish churches among unreached people groups. Often, they face incredible opposition, lack vital resources, and have no access to theological or ministry training.
Take that a step further. Suppose a church leader is also a business person in a developing nation. How then, does someone of this capability meld faith and business successfully? GAM believes that Christian business leaders in the developing world must be equipped with Biblical principles as well as practical business skills in order to be change agents in their nations.
Through partnership, business leaders and church leaders or pastors can work jointly to lift their nations out of the poverty cycle. By equipping Christian business leaders in less developed countries, GAM can bring spiritual and economic renewal to nations.
As such, the conferences they're providing help strategically align pastors and Christian business leaders in developing nations toward evangelism. Their goal: provide nationals in developing nations with tools and a vision for the advance of the Gospel.
This year, the team is slated to conduct 104 Frontline Shepherds Conferences for pastors, and Marketplace Missions conferences for Christian business leaders. Please pray for the training team's safety and strength.
