Developing Christ-Formed Community and Church Leaders
Backstory
In a region plagued by recurring violence, strong, Christ-formed leadership is critical to the survival of the church and the communities they serve.
That's why Sudan Church Partners concentrates on the development of Christ-formed leaders across the region. We do this by identifying and supporting a few high-leverage leadership roles at the Diocese level. These individuals provide oversight and leadership that has a ripple effect across the region.
We also invest in emerging young leaders who can serve within their communities to promote peace and healthy institutions in business, health, and peace-building.
