African numerical dominance within the faith will arrive sooner than I argued—and it’ll be more sizable, too.” Phillip Jenkins https://www.internationaldiscipleshipcoalition.com/propose-a-new-idc-project daily 0.75 2021-10-07 https://www.internationaldiscipleshipcoalition.com/home daily 1.0 2021-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ea4cec7a840f4c07bebbc1/1633640234553-E635OYH5BJSH7ZS5BQXJ/IMG_0461.jpg Home - Equipping in Discipleship Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. This is the central task of the church. It is a frequent topic of discussion by churches and organizations. What does it mean to be transformed into the image of Christ in a particular culture and context? How can the gospel become so rooted in the heart of a person that they will be easily identified as someone who knows and has walked with Christ? Explore these topics and more related to discipleship with these IDC partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ea4cec7a840f4c07bebbc1/1633546245670-ALFSVAUBB1TX2WO654VF/C21495C6-73E2-40F4-AF87-C826A7B09142.jpeg Home - Equipping in Outreach One of our desires is to share and make available training, print, and digital resources to advance the impact of the gospel in Africa. While all the organizations in IDC share the desire to see people reached in Africa a few specialize in this area. Learn more about the resources they offer at the outreach resources link. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ea4cec7a840f4c07bebbc1/1633640776223-Y5LX95SJ6YT3AFVNVLDH/IMG_2297-3.jpg Home - Equipping Pastors and Leadership Pastors and Christian leaders are critical for the future of the church in Africa. A Malawian Proverb says that “a great leader is an ordinary person with extraordinary wisdom.” The focus of equipping pastors and leadership for the church in Africa is to help ordinary people become leaders who are guided by the extraordinary wisdom contained in God’s word. Whether that is training for existing leaders through informal means or basic and advanced degree studies, IDC partners are here to help your church create the leadership that will carry you forward into the extraordinary future God has in store for the African church. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ea4cec7a840f4c07bebbc1/1633717941727-YJHF54D3RKZWB7NUF9VI/unsplash-image-4eWwSxaDhe4.jpg Home - Equipping Media Resources: Print, Audio and Internet Access to resources is an area critical for the church in Africa.

Organizations can provide higher quality service when they focus on a particular area of ministry. The needs of the church in Africa are diverse. Connecting African churches to a broad range of organizations can better serve the needs of the church in Africa. Those organizations can and should help each other serve the church in Africa. So: We collaborate through joint projects, cross training in areas of expertise, mutual support for ministry. This type of collaboration is developed through relationships. Relationships are built through communication Communication happens through meeting and talking We meet and talk together through online meetings and in joint visits/ministry with partners in Africa. Our vision and prayer is this will help all our organizations to better serve the needs of the growing church in Africa to position it to be a tremendous blessing to the world. https://www.internationaldiscipleshipcoalition.com/idc-outreach daily 0.75 2021-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ea4cec7a840f4c07bebbc1/1634671074059-TK39X2RAV3JXZ67F97G1/Al+Massira+Logo+-+Large+-+08-09.jpeg IDC Outreach - IDC Partners Specializing in Outreach Al Massira is a 13 part docu film series which presents the Good News of Jesus from within the Middle Eastern culture. Al Massira is a “new voice” which emerged in response to believers from Middle Eastern backgrounds wrestling with the most challenging theological questions that are raised within their region and culture. Al Massira, has been a collaboration between Christians from different ethnic, cultural and denominational backgrounds. We attempt to reflect this aspect of the nature of God in our fellowship and work. A platform of unity has been built in the task of fulfilling the ‘Great Commission’ to the most unreached peoples of the world. This platform is a place where people can contribute their time, gifts and abilities towards the vision and mission of Al Massira. Al Massira aims to encourage this pattern of collaboration at every level of its operation. We believe that relationship is the best medium for discipleship and Al Massira functions best in this context. Training in the use of the Al Massira Docufilm series is available throughout the world, the films are available to trained users.

The certain hope that the gospel provides about our eternal state is a great way to connect the gospel to the heart of Africa. YLF has developed the You Last Forever diagram as a way to share the gospel while speaking directly the this key area. YLF trains Christians to use the You Last Forever diagram for evangelism, and discipleship with any peoples. The YLF diagram displays a person’s journey from conception, through this world, and into eternity. Opposite sides of the YLF card show the different journeys and destinies of people based on their faith or lack of faith in Jesus Christ. YLF literature and printer proofs are now available in English, French, Swahili, Chinese, and Spanish with more translations anticipated. Rev. Richard Fisher is the Founder and Director. https://www.internationaldiscipleshipcoalition.com/idc-pastoral-and-leadership daily 0.75 2022-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ea4cec7a840f4c07bebbc1/1633973187755-JNBH8B23Q9O1HYBA47IQ/5D4ED7E0-113D-471A-93A5-A56075F49F3B_4_5005_c.jpeg IDC Pastoral and Leadership - Pastoral and Leadership Training Equipping Leaders International (ELI) partners with highly influential yet under-resourced Christian leaders globally to equip and multiply Biblically mature leaders for every area of community life. We focus upon very basic Bible study and teaching skills using a combination of large conferences, smaller seminars and workshops, and certification courses.

We send professors to teach at local institutions at regular intervals to equip pastors, teachers, and laymen and women to accomplish their God-given callings. Our mission is to provide Biblically-based, Reformed teaching and training worldwide to indigenous church leaders for ministry. We believe that the most effective evangelism, discipleship, and church planting will be done by nationals in their own cultural context, we send pastors and professors to the students to minimize cost and to maximize learning opportunities in their own contexts near their families and ministries.

We advocate taking the education to the people by having the professors go and establish new schools in an ever-expanding circle of communities rather than one central location. MINTS provides curriculum, academic standards, administrative software, and training to the growing locally owned and operated schools. MINTS partners with national believers to start these schools with the understanding that they will multiply regionally. MINTS equips pastors, Christian workers, Church planters, and professors through granting theological degrees. MINTS offers – Certificate, Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Master of Divinity, in Theological Studies. For those who want to use their education to teach others, the Doctor of Ministry and Doctor of Philosophy are offered.

Our work in Africa is primarily through our Mobile Theological Training Team (MT3). The work in Rwanda, while initially exclusively through a pastoral training initiative of Reach the Children of Rwanda International (RCRI), is now also partnering with the IDC. Along this line, we have begun working with the Trinity Center for World Mission in Kigali. MT3 operates in both formal and non-formal environments, bringing theological education to Christian leaders in Africa and elsewhere. MT3’s model is to partner with existing schools or structures, offering training in a modular format which allows for maximal flexibility and accessibility for students. MT3 has operated in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia, and South Africa, and is adaptable for a variety of African contexts. The goal of the Rwandan outreach is to extend accessibility for pastoral education into the rural parts of Rwanda. We are in the process of formalizing our existing training program and developing a network of partners through the IDC that will create a pathway for pastors to have access to accredited formal education.

Jesus came to seek, restore, and redeem a broken world; the practice of biblical stewardship is an essential part of that redemption. The practice of biblical stewardship not only restores broken finances, it also restores broken marriages, families, businesses, communities and nations. Our plans are to reach more people with redemptive stewardship training through our alliance partners. Crown currently has over 100 alliance partners or local leaders. Many are in the process of being established as Crown Stewardship Centers. A Crown Alliance Partner is an organization that develops an on-going training initiative to reach outside their walls to train other people and groups to deliver Redemptive Stewardship teaching.
