Here at In-His-Steps we sensed the Lord leading us to come along side and minister to pastors instead of planting new churches. Although most people think of missions work as only evangelism, we have found that in most countries, the native ministers are much better evangelists than we could ever be.  Our desire is to help them and to give them the support they need as they are reaching hundreds and thousands of people.

The greatest need  we see on the mission field today is the Pastoral Care and  training and discipleship of Leaders. Many Pastors outside the United States have little to no formal training, and what they do have is very traditional, and not very applicable. By pouring our lives into these Pastors, we can see their ministries become more effective, and the Body of Christ grow and flourish.

Ministering to the Pastors requires developing a trust relationship with them, which can take years of constant prayer and contact. On top of this it is necessary to stay on the cutting edge of what the Holy Spirit is doing in the world today. It is also necessary to have an ongoing relationship with the Holy Spirit and stay sensitive to His voice. Otherwise, it is impossible to have the answers to the questions and problems the native Pastors face on a daily basis.

Some of the ways we are working to help train and disciple Pastors include:

Training seminars for Pastor and Leaders

Teaching in Bible Schools

Visiting Pastors to minister to them, pray for them, counsel them and help to answer their questions.
