Hearing From God Course Offered

Christ-followers want to hear from God today. They want to know where and how God wants them to engage with Him in redeeming a lost world. The Hearing From God teaching series leads participants to learn to discern clearly what God is saying to them so they can engage with faith in a walk of obedience to God.

God has sincerely impressed me to make this simple, Biblical, and practical teaching available across America. This is a Christ-honoring ministry, not a business venture. God has called and commissioned me to teach His people His Word and do so face-to-face. We will not “charge you” to receive this teaching. Though I still teach internationally, I’m setting time aside under God’s direction to bring this teaching in your church, small group, Bible study class, or ministry team.

When you visit the website, you’ll find the course description and outline, teaching reviews from pastors and ministry leaders, video clips from the teaching, and contact information.

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." (John 10:27 NKJV)

Sincerely in Christ,
Phil Largent

Alliance with Heart Transformation

IMD International gladly announces a strategic alliance with Heart Transformation.  Keith Peterson and Phil Largent agree that God wants these two ministries to work together for the good of the Kingdom of God.  We wholeheartedly endorse the training resource HEART TRANSFORMATION for Kingdom Living produced by Keith & Karen Peterson.  Through engagement in this potently Biblical process, each participant will have an opportunity to move into a more intimate, wholehearted relationship with the Lord.

God has put into place an opportunity for you to become part of an online, interactive learning community focused on examining the Biblical model for church.

This is the online, interactive version of what God is doing in so many parts of the world through the printed resource, God’s Plan For Church Planting, discovering God’s effective, Biblical principles to plant churches where none exist and strengthen existing churches. Let God speak into your life and ministry through this cutting edge opportunity.

3/30 Training Initiative

This financial initiative is focused on gathering God's provision for the ever-increasing demand for training from the various countries where God is placing us. To meet the requests, we need to receive over our current contributions $3,000 per month over a 30 month period which will go entirely to this training initiative. These funds will focus on supplies and printed resources, travel, event hosting, and communications with key ministries and leaders. 3/30 Training Initiative will make a certain difference in the kingdom of God.

New Partnerships In India:

India - Lamech Inbaraj and God's Plan For Church Planting, Tamil

God has brought about a relationship with Lamech that focuses on training church planters in several southern states of India using God's Plan For Church Planting as the training resource. Training sessions are being held monthly in different states and districts in Tamil and Telugu languages.

India - Fregy Mathew and the Timothy Project, North India

Fregy has implemented a strategic leadership development training with 20 key leaders around India. These men will be challenged and led to advance in their leadership skills as leaders of leaders. Throughout 2008, these men will meet, listen, pray, receive challenges, implement, and report back with one another and Fregy.

New Partnerships in Southeast Asia

Church Planter training has been going on now in three Southeast Asian countries. The training has reached phases 2 and 3 in some of the countries. Pastors and church planters are hungry for a simple, straightforward Biblical approach to ministry. The resource God's Plan For Church Planting in their language is the resource. The specific countries and specific workers are too sensitive information to post on this website.

New Leadership Development Resource

Hearing From God is a new training resource in development at this time. The teaching has been brought to ministry leaders and pastors in several Asian countries with "Blessings to God" reviews. This resource will come out through our IMD International / IMD PRESS partnership before the Fall of 2008. Participants are taken through the Scriptures in order to learn to discern what God is saying to them.
