Terry King - Executive Director
A Word from Executive Director, Terry King
I love to train leaders! A major thrust throughout my ministry life has been to equip and release leaders. My first opportunity was as a local church pastor in the 1970's. When the church began to grow rapidly, my study of the New Testament model of church life led me to conclude that hiring professional staff was not the best answer for providing ministry. A model of ministry development and training evolved that successfully produced paid and non-paid staff for the church and launched dozens of individuals into full time ministry all over the globe. I firmly believe that the local church should be the initial development ground for all levels of Christian leadership.
In 1983 I answered the call of Jesus to begin full time involvement in leadership training. That call has led to living on three continents and serving in over 30 nations. My involvement has included teaching local church seminars, full time Bible college teaching for nine years, curriculum writing and serving in administrative positions.
