We have a passion for training church leaders in the developing world, and it is our firm belief that this is best achieved through investing in local institutions. By training Christian leaders, we can have a positive impact on the church for generations to come; and in resourcing local theological schools, we leave a sustainable legacy.
reSource Leadership International exists to foster excellence in theological schools in the developing world – giving them the resources they need to offer the best education – thereby ensuring a high standard of teaching and lay training in the local church.
