LEADERSHIP OUTREACH INC
LOCAL CHURCH. GLOBAL IMPACT.
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Many, if not most, pastors and church leaders in 2nd and 3rd world developing countries do not have access to the necessary theological edcuation or leadership training needed to lead a healthy church. Many of our Pastoral Students are in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil, or the islands off Western Africa, and more are coming online in the Global South, but they all lack access and funding for a traditional seminary education. Through practical course materials and leadership coaching, our team goes to these hard-to-reach places in order to work face-to-face with these ministry leaders.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Leadership Outreach Network
The Leadership Outreach Network provides leadership and theological training to emerging leaders primarily serving in underserved regions of the world. Through a combination of onsite training and distance education, students receive the equivalent of the 3-year Bible degree during their course of study. In 2018, enrollment has increased to over 250 students and we anticipate significant growth in 2019 as we launch new Training Centers in the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil, and Columbia. Over 30 students completed the 3-year training program in 2018 and were awarded diplomas.
Leadership Development
Our mentors and coaches work to accelerate the growth and effectiveness of ministries by helping them fine-tune the leadership skills necessary to increase their outreach and scale their organization for greater Kingdom effectiveness.
Catalyst Collier County
The mission of Catalyst Collier is to unite the body of Christ around a common purpose in order to achieve measurable progress against spiritual, social, and humanitarian challenges facing Collier County.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We train church leaders all over the world by empowering individuals who desire to use their knowledge and talents to grow God’s Kingdom. We strive to mentor students to develop their core-competency with curriculum that is highly practical and theologically Christ-Centered.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
If God places a call in their heart to enter into ministry, we guide them through a 10-part curriculum created by Bible Training Center for Pastors, and personally meet with and mentor them through each course. Upon graduation, we certify each pastor and church leader, continue in relationship with them as they plant their own church, and equip them to influence their community with the Gospel, beginning the cycle all over again.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Today, our reach has expanded to training pastors all over the world. While we have time-tested methods and metrics from consulting with numerous churches, we understand each culture is different, with specific needs that must be addressed.
We currently have nearly 20 training centers located in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Africa, Ecuador, Columbia and the United States. We now have over 300 students enrolled in our training programs and are developing a network of trainers to meet the growing demand for our services.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In our Spanish Ministry Training we are currently training 75 pastoral students and minsitry leaders.
We have three training centers in Spanish located in the Dominican Republic: Santo Domingo East, Esperanza and Santiago. Plans for expansion include:
Veron, Punta Cana – 20 students start the training program in January 2020
Puerto Plata – 10 students start the training program in January 2020
La Vega – 10 students start the training program in January 2020
San Cristobal – 10 students start the training program in January 2020
San Pedro de Macoris – 10 students start the training program in January 2020
La Romana – 10 students start the training program in January 2020
In Ecuador:
In Portoviejo in Manabi, Ecuador – 50 students will start online in July of 2019
We plan to have our first graduation class of 30-40 students from the Dominican Republic in June of 2020. We are also happy about the potential growth of new students for the D.R. for 2020, as well as the door the Lord is opening up to train pastors and leaders in Ecuador.
Our Brazilian Ministry Training is expanding through the Western Basin of the Amazon River from Manaus all the way to Tabatinga located at the Triple Board Region where Brazil, Peru, and Columbia come together. We have just open a new network of training centers in the poorest state in Brazil called Piaui. This desert location is plagued by extreme poverty and lack of resources. Yet, we are preparing to launch 3 new training centers in this region in 2020.
Our ministry is expanding rapidly and the main barrier to growth is financial support. Please prayerfully consider becoming a ministry partner today.
