National Leadership Development
Colleen was focused on national (indigenous) leadership development. This would entail coming alongside national leaders and raising the awareness of how the enemy seeks to bring down godly leaders. She connected the dots between churches, agencies and leaders to create platforms and partnerships to come alongside the current rise of national leaders coming out of East Asia and the Middle East. She was working in conjunction with

The desire is to begin with a certain quality of leader. We are looking for leaders who are willing to live countercultural to the typical shame base model of leadership. We are in the search process of looking for qualified candidates from these three countries, with the possibility of expanding it to Iran and Korea.
Vehicle of Delivery: Utilizing on-line technology, Bill Thrall (8 week cohort) will mentor these selected leaders with the understanding that these leaders will share what they have learned to 3-5 others, who will also agree to share with others under them. The desire is to see a multiplication effect of a new model of leadership in these shame based cultures, in which the area of shame, does not preclude them from being able to share about the temptations of the heart and mind (attacks from Satan to bring them down). Samuel Rima will follow up with some coaching and training sessions, using the tools he has developed for self-evaluation in understanding the pitfalls that leaders can succumb to. Steve Unangst will be partnering with Bill Thrall to deliver some of the leadership content.
How you can join us:
- Humble and not eager to climb a ladder of “success” as defined in the world’s eyes. Sees himself/herself on the same level as their followers
- Able to share transparently and vulnerably about their areas of weakness, to make known the power of Christ
- Supported by indigenous financial structures and institutions, not funded nor supported by the west – free of western influence
- Person of influence in his/her country
- Fairly good command of English

How you can join us:
- Prayer is our biggest need. Finding leaders with the above-mentioned qualifications is like finding a needle in a haystack. Please let us know if you would like updates on the progress of this and join us in prayer.
- If you have experience in working with national leaders, we welcome you into the dialog to gather more input and potential contacts. Please contact us.
- If you have a skill or an idea that you feel would complement this endeavor, we welcome you into the dialog.
Ultimately this “movement of maintaining healthy spiritual men and women of integrity and character”
would be self-sustaining and reproducible.
We understand that the initial generation might need some funding to enable that first generation to take it to the next level. While meeting over a zoom format can be done, it can be risky. If funds can be made available to pay for these two authors time and energy as well as to provide any air fare needed to fly them to undisclosed locations, that would be helpful. There may be some needed start up costs for national leaders to start their own venue within their own country.
