Training & Preparation

Our second commitment is concerned with Christian development at every level, with a particular focus on training leaders. 

The exponential growth of the Latin American church over the past half-century shows Latin Americans to be among the most effective evangelists in the world. Yet rapid growth without an infrastructure brings its own pressures and problems: a rapid turnover of new believers through insufficient teaching and discipleship, a lack of space for questions and spiritual development. Added to this, a large percentage of pastors are themselves untrained, many unable to afford the luxury of full time study.

Latin Link is able to send people who are well-qualified to meet some of these pressing needs: people to work in theological education, to teach in Bible colleges and night Bible institutes; to lead study groups of pastors in isolated rural areas; to run short training courses; to support churches by leading small groups; to offer pastoral care and counselling.

We help train Sunday school teachers, youth and student workers, we teach in schools, and guide new Christians along structured discipleship programmes. 

Latin Link is also invited to send people to share their knowledge and experience with national missionary movements, to train and prepare Latin Americans for inter-cultural mission in other parts of the world.
