The Global Leadership Crisis

Around the world, the Church is growing at an explosive rate. Bill Bright, a prominent Christian leader, predicted before his death that more than one billion people will come to faith in Christ over the next decade. Who will nurture them?

To assimilate all of these new converts, more than two million new churches will need to be started. Who will lead them?
More than 4,000 new pastors are needed every month to keep up with the current rate of spiritual growth. Who will train them?

Boldly Confronting the Global Leadership Crisis
Dr. John C. Maxwell and a few friends launched EQUIP in 1996.
EQUIP’s vision is to see effective Christian Leaders fulfill the Great Commission in Every Nation.

EQUIP’s mission is to equip International Christian Leaders to effectively serve the growing Body of Christ around the world.
Therefore, EQUIP have launched the Million Leaders Mandate. This exciting initiative will enable EQUIP to train one million international church leaders, worldwide, in basic leadership skills by 2008. This army of effective trained leaders will provide visionary leadership to local churches and national organizations, while training other national leaders throughout the world.

About Million Leaders Mandate

The program was launched in Asia in January of 2003 and is continuing continent-by-continent in successive years. EQUIP staff and Associate Trainers (pastors and marketplace leaders) are training 40,000 certified (National) trainers in key nations, who in turn will train 25 other leaders each. Totaling an exponential amount of one million leaders trained.

This initiative features a three-year leadership training strategy for pastors, church and marketplace leaders. Each region of a selected country is assigned a training team that returns every six months to provide instruction. This model encourages lasting relationships, stability and accountability in each nation.

The Million Leaders Mandate Curriculum
This vision has prompted John C. Maxwell and his EQUIP team to make available the library of INJOY and Maxwell training that has been developed over the years for a biblically based curriculum to train up leaders across these three main areas:

Spiritual Formation
Skill Formation
Strategy Formation
The MLM program is a three year commitment by pastors, church and marketplace leaders. There are six notebooks covering 36 units of leadership training therefore, 12 MLM leadership units will be covered per year. Each unit takes about one hour to deliver and may be longer based on group discussion and the degree of application by the trainer.

Every six months, leaders participate in a MLM Train the Trainer Session that lasts for at least one day. They will be trained in one MLM notebook covering 6 MLM units of training. At the end of the Train The Trainer session, each of the leader will be provided with a copy of that particular Notebook as well as it’s power point presentation as tools to train others.
