Leading with an upright heart and skillful hands- Ps. 78.72
John Maxwell once said: “Leadership lifts people. Leadership lifts people from the life they have to the life they could have”
This ministry was founded to help Equip & Mould Christian Shepherds (Leaders) be ‘lid-lifters’ by helping them grow ‘Swifter, Higher & Stronger’ in fulfilling God’s calling on their lives, enabling them to effectively Feed & Lead HIS Flock into Green Pastures! (New Covenant) 1 Peter 5:2
Are you & your team equipped to handle the ONE Billion ‘New Souls’?
Research says that all around the world the Church of Jesus Christ is growing phenomenally & these researches believe that by the year 2020, over 1 billion ‘new souls’ will be saved! So this is really exciting time for all of us but we as Christian Leaders must ask: “Who will be these Shepherds to lead HIS Sheep to Green pastures (new covenant!) Who will train them? Who will pastor their churches?”
Today there is great need amongst assemblies for mature spiritual leadership. To address these & other pertinent questions, and to address the growing demand or vacuum in spiritual leadership training around the body of Christ, we are reminded of what Paul exhorts us in 2 Tim 2:2 to ‘entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others’ which we believe is this Ministry’s answer!
Not just any leader, but Transformational Leaders!
Transform Yourself... Transform Your People...A Global Transformation!
Prepare to SERVE, Prepare to LEAD, Prepare for LIFE!

How the Course Works
The approach used would be more of a SEE & REMEMBER, along with DO & UNDERSTAND, using audio-visuals, video clippings/movies, exercises & role-plays where required.
At the end of the program each participant would take back an action plan that could be put to immediate use!
A few Life Lessons we can learn from THE SHEPHERD!
(As described by Peter in 1 Peter 5:2)
As we take up the Task of a Shepherd, we need to be reminded of the following!
- 1.1 The Job Description – “Shepherd the flock…which is among you,”Shepherds do what? – They lead, protect, & they feed sheep.
- 1.2The Shepherd’s Limits – “flock of God”
It’s Gods flock! The under-shepherd can never forget that.
- 1.3 The Shepherd’s Motive – “willingly”
Not because he has a job to do.
- 1.4 The Shepherd’s Enthusiasm – “eagerly”
The word used here is extremely strong & expresses enthusiasm & devoted zeal. Not for the pay; prestige; pomp; power; or promotion.
- 1.5 The Shepherds Example – “nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;” Sheep must be led not driven! He’s saying, “Leaders rather than to demand respect from those under your authority, Win their respect by love & example.”
- 1.6 The shepherds Shepherd – “when the Chief(Master)Shepherd Appears. Pastors/Elders, we need to simply follow in His footsteps Ps.85:13 “Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway.” “The Lord is my Shepherd” (personal relationship with Him); "I am the Good Shepherd”(the Goodness of God);
And here, He is the “Chief Shepherd”(the Sovereignty of God).
- 1.7 The Shepherds Reward – “you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
”He will indeed reward their diligent care of his people with an unfading, imperishable crown.
