It has been a privilege to support IMD International for the last 15 years. God has called them to go to the far reaches of the world to teach His word, to train up leaders, to translate the Bible into languages I did not know exited. Seeing this ministry making an impact in the world changes us, as they grow in assignments we get to watch God at work and know we are making a difference. That is our blessing.

The Leaders With Whom We Engage

Identify indigenous leaders engaged in ministry

Leader characteristics for which we look:

  • active in the calling
  • passionate about calling
  • teachable or moldable leaders
  • faithful (reliable, proven)
  • Spirit-led
  • grace oriented
  • openness or adaptability in ministry

We identify where God is at work and focus our efforts there – with emphasis on the “10-40 window” areas and spiritually needy areas among least reached or unreached people groups.


The Philosophy With Which We Engage

The teachers and trainers of IMD International are itinerate – working with indigenous leaders to help them accomplish their mission and vision.

  • We focus on accelerating kingdom growth.
  • We emphasize building of leaders, not organizations (not buildings, not hierarchies).
  • We stress a significant return to Biblical philosophy, authority, and sufficiency.

The Resources We Bring To The Engagement

Experienced, proven, Spirit-led teachers and trainers

  • Counsel, encouragement, and referrals
  • Caring, Spirit-filled relationships in a network with mentors and co-laborers
