The Leadership Empowerment Conference Vision

The purpose of Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conferences is to train and equip African pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders for spiritual ministry, educating them to be “apt to teach” – I Timothy 3:2.

There are many worthy Christian ministries in Africa addressing the issues of AIDS, orphans, vegetable gardens, wells for clean water, and Christian discipleship. Our unique call is to help strengthen His Church by training the leaders of churches.

Purposes for Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conferences:

• The Church in Africa is growing rapidly—23,000 converts per day in sub-Sahara alone
• The need for trained African leaders is great—hundreds of new churches are started every week
• Christian leaders training at the grass roots produces increase in ministry effectiveness
• The Meyers are educated and experienced trainers of Christian leaders and missionaries
• The Meyers are establishing Contacts with African Christian Organizations
• Foreigners are free to travel on the African continent to conduct conferences
  
  

Christian Leadership training is helpful at any of these levels: conference, institute, college, graduate studies, or doctoral studies. We have done all of these. But training pastors on site in Africa is most needed today in order to strengthen the African Church without removing her leaders from where they serve. We are conducting inter-church conferences that are city or region-wide in scope. African Christian Leaders need training to 1) become firmly grounded in the Word and in prayer, 2) learn the spiritual as well as practical aspects of ministry, and 3) become empowered by God’s Holy Spirit to minister more effectively to their congregations. As God breathes His blessings, we are seeing ministry skills sharpened, ministries increase in effectiveness, and churches and Christians of Africa strengthened.
