Facilitator: Malcolm Webber We are in a time of Renaissance concerning leadership development. We know that our traditional methods do not work well and the lack of healthy leaders in the church, particularly in areas of rapid church growth around the world, is fast becoming a crisis. But what are the alternatives? This course presents an alternative, a paradigm shift. It is based upon the teaching found in Malcolm Webber's books on leaders and leadership development. For a detailed description of the paradigm shift and the specific models this course will be presenting, please see our Models page. This is not a boring, lecture-driven course. It is a collage of learning opportunities that will both teach and use the principles of our models. "Leadership training for Christian service and ministry commonly consists of a series of how-to-do-it suggestions strung together in a neat package that can be quite impressive and yet far off-the-mark at the same time. In my fifty years of field experience in leadership development I have seen the best and the worst of various approaches. In my judgment a key mistake is trying to produce leaders with speeches and lectures. Hands-on experiences, especially in the actual day-to-day work of the church – in worship, in prayer, in service to others, building the community of faith as a partnership needs to be at the center of the leadership learning process. I have seen few efforts toward this goal that are more responsible to the teachings of the New Testament and more carefully modeled on the ways that Christ and the apostles used to establish strong churches than the ConneXions model developed by the Strategic Global Assistance community in Elkhart, Indiana." Ted Ward "With 40 years of worldwide travel including over 20 years of active service in the training of Iranian Christians for the ministry, I would wholeheartedly endorse the ConneXions model of training by Dr. Malcolm Webber as the best model globally I have come across." Sam Yeghnazar "The ConneXions conference is Bible-based, church-based, and globally-based. There is no short-cut or a single, programmed approach to leadership development in the local church. ConneXions presents as close to a true biblical philosophy of ministry in the context of the local church that I've seen. Attending a ConneXions conference is time well spent now and for eternity."
