Comments from Previous Participants in This Course

"The course helped me in understanding the paradigm shift which will develop our ministry in India." Albert Das (President, ServLife India)

"I have now learned how to design effective leader development for our emerging leaders in India." Ramchand Saranu (Director of Youth With A Mission, Indore, India)

"The course was extremely well taught, practical, engaging, experiential, spiritual, enjoyable."

"This course has given me the inspiration and tools to design courses to help those I’m working with."

"Previously I saw the needs and was overwhelmed. Now I have a model to address the needs."

"This course was eye-opening!"

"I appreciated the facilitated interaction. It helped me understand design and took away the idea that it is too hard. I really feel like I can actually apply it in my life and ministry. I want to apply this in the counseling field. I see that design could really help me lead people to a better place by giving them "learning experiences" that could really transform their lives."

"The model and principles of healthy leadership development are going to be keys in my ministry of building leaders in Asia. The networking and relationships built will enable us to work together in making holistic leadership development happen in our regions and throughout the world."

"For me personally as I look back at my service in ministry I see that I have intuitively done this for the most part yet without design. The leaders I challenged and trained over the years and for a variety of mainly missionary service, would have done better if I could have shown, explained and included them in the overall process. I modeled the work well but I equipped them with many things except the ability to apply these principles I have just learned. I feel I have left a gap in them in their ability to train others. If we better apply the BHL principles we can sow seeds of generational training patterns that will help the great commission continue long after we are gone. One special part of this course was seeing how these principles can work in any culture in multi-dimensional ways and in simple ways."

"This model is what I want my life to be all about!"

"The time interacting with others of like vision, the exercises of practical application, and the building of relationships all served to clarify and refine my understanding of the ConneXions model."

"Very useful in reaffirming the methods of learning. It made the coaching process attainable from my perspective. Most helpful was the vision that Malcolm cast among us."

"The course was very helpful in taking the five C’s and 18 principles models to the application level."

"I have gained new insights and greater clarity in carrying out the design process. I am leaving with much greater confidence to move forward, building with the ConneXions model at home and overseas."

"The homework was one of the best parts. It forced me to think thoroughly about the principles of the ConneXions model and to think practically about their application. I walked away with three things: a much deeper understanding of the process, a greater sense of urgency that this needs to be put in the hands of the national leaders and a practical plan to do it."

"[Incorporating these principles] will result in an incredible actual learning experience [for the people I work with]. Not only will it significantly affect their behavior but also their hearts."

"Thanks for what you are doing. You are performing a great service to the Body of Christ. You and the members of your church who I encountered are excellent testimonies to the model of leadership you are promoting. You are walking the walk as well as talking the talk!"

"This will be very useful in my next steps of leadership at my business, bringing clarity and a framework to strategize."

"This has been extremely useful to me. (I knew it would be.) I now have a framework for the program I want to do in the Netherlands."
