Overview

Develop Leaders in Culturally Relevant Ways  Often, church planters, disciplers, and pastors struggle to identify grassroots leaders and develop them in their context. As leaders who want to develop other leaders, our task is to come alongside these leaders and learn and grow together with them. Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts focuses on how to develop grassroots Christian leaders across cultures. These often unrecognized leaders mostly lead small groups at the growing edges of the church. They are ordinary people who faithfully share Christ amid the demands of daily life. Another focus of the book is shaping the character of developers as they humbly walk beside leaders in the leaders' community. Using the four C's of Christian leadership-Community, Character, Clarity, and Care-the authors weave together research, experience, and practical application to show how these characteristics are expressed across different cultures. The book then discusses five principles, illustrated in common settings, for an intentional process that develops leaders and their communities collectively. Take the next step now in developing yourself and others in the task of leading Jesus's church wherever that might be.

So much experience, thought, and Bible-tempered practical wisdom has been poured into this book to make it a treasure chest of help for rookie and veteran cross-cultural workers. The strength of the book-and its thesis-is that it insists that a leader is every bit a disciple as the disciples he or she is to lead. -Ross and Lyndal Webb; Bible translators for over 30 years, Wycliffe Australia The key to reaching the nations is to see movements of reproducing churches, and the key to healthy church planting movements is the development of adequate numbers of leaders. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to see godly leaders equipped and able to shepherd growing churches among unreached peoples. -Julyan Lidstone; Ambassador, Muslim Ministries of OM This book calls all those involved in developing leaders to consider context, create space, learn to listen, and continue their own discipleship journey. Add this book to your reading list as it calls us to live the everyday faith journey in discipling, being discipled, and growing community. -Cathy Hine, PhD; Co-Founder and Coordinator, When Women SpeakDirector, Interserve International
