Unscripted discussions around questions & challenges facing those of us pursuing a 2 Timothy 2:2 multiplication strategy. In this Zoom Café, we explore how to identify those pastors & leaders with the greatest potential to become highly-effective trainers in their own right. We also discuss how to navigate a situation where our partner doesn’t share the vision for a T3 ministry.
These evaluation tools and articles will help you keep learning and growing as a trainer.
They are designed to help you think through and implement a simple process to evaluate the effectiveness of your training ministry and discover what’s working well and what’s not working so well.
The first two assessment tools will help you become a more effective trainer and/or help you develop others to become more effective trainers and disciple-makers. These tools are intended to create coaching conversations which identify needed areas of growth as well as pathways for deepening ministry capacity, convictions, confidence & skills. Feel free to adapt these assessment tools to your context and training purposes.
The third document, “Before We Say Yes!”, is a pastor-trainer alignment grid intended to help you and your national partners assess the health, alignment, and progress of your partnership. “Before We Say Yes!” was created by Doug Dunton and others while working with WordPartners’ global partners. The document was used to guide global partnerships over several years in order to deepen ministry impact through a process of: transformation, multiplication, and ultimately, Movement.
