WE EQUIP CHURCHES AND LEADERS WORLDWIDE TO BE CONTEMPORARY, RELEVANT, MISSION RELATED AND MULTIGENERATIONAL. WE TRAIN UP THE LEADERSHIP TO DO THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY AND REACH THE LOST WHILE ALSO REACHING THE WORLD AND MAKING MISSIONS A MAJOR PRIORITY. THROUGH MEDIA, BOOKS, AUDIO RESOURCES, CONFERENCES, CONSULTING AND COACHING, WE ARE ABLE TO REACH A VAST RANGE OF INDIVIDUAL NEEDS WITHIN THE LOCAL CHURCH CONTEXT ON A GLOBAL SCALE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MINISTRY IS TO FULFILL JESUS' LAST COMMAND TO "GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS" (MATTHEW 28:19). WE BELIEVE IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHURCH TO RISE UP AT THIS POINT IN HISTORY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF HURTING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. WE RECOGNIZE THAT TOGETHER, AS THE BODY OF CHRIST, WE CAN BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS ACROSS THE PLANET. TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS, WE ARE SEEING THE GOSPEL GO FORTH, CHURCHES FLOURISH, LIVES SET FREE AND JUJSTICE PREVAIL. WE ARE ACHIEVING THIS THROUGH CONFERENCES, LEADERSHIP TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT, EVANGELICAL EVENTS, CHURCH CONSULTING AND OTHER KEY NOTE SPEAKER EVENTS. THROUGH OUR MINISTRY WE CONTINUE TO SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHEN THE CHURCH IN AMERICA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, AFRICA, ASIA, SOUTH AMERICA AND WE ARE ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING HAPPEN IN EUROPE. RELIGIOUS MINDSETS ARE BREAKING AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE TRULY STARTING TO SEE REVIVAL.
