Training Leaders for the Church in China
The rapid growth of the church in China has created a critical need for church leaders. Traditional, western models of leadership development are inadequate to meet the need. The challenges to leadership development and suggested best practices are discussed in light of the changes in China and potential future ministries.
What is needed to effectively evaluate the development of church leaders in China? To understand what is needed, the meanings of evaluation, leadership, and development are each discussed.
True leadership development focuses on the leaders as people. The health and growth of the real person produces sound leadership.
Mentoring is a key element in transformational leadership development and is greatly needed in China as well.
To understand the need for leadership development in China, it is crucial to understand what kinds of leaders are needed. Seven types of leaders are identified and described.
