What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Getting caught up in their work for God, Christian leaders too often lose sight of their lives in God. This affects not only their actual work but has a negative impact on their families and core relationships.

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Soul Care

Research shows that resilience or ‘vitality’ in ministry (and life) is directly
correlated to the quality of community one enjoys. Scripture (Jn. 13 & 17) indicates that the quality of our relationships actually provide the validity of our message (by our love and unity). In other words, if Christian leaders struggle under the weight of spiritual dryness, relational loneliness, and depleted energy, how much more will their congregation, church plant, discipleship group be limited in their growth? Our mission is to strengthen and grow the body of Christ by investing in the ongoing growth of Christian leaders.

Providing soul care for Christian leaders, we offer hospitality, training/equipping, spiritual direction, worship & prayer events, counseling, workshops and mentoring.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

By God's grace and the Holy Spirit's work through our ministry, Christian leaders will:
• experience a vibrant relationship with God that is characterized by spiritual hunger
• understand themselves in light of God's love, relating to others without fear or pretense
• embrace the gifts and challenges of sharing spiritual community with other believers
• passionately express Christ in the world, freely giving themselves for others' sakes.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

We believe that spiritual community is essential for every Christian; therefore, MEI establishes spiritual communities in strategic locations around the world where Christian leaders can gather for care and growth. Creating a vital, relevant, and faithful presence of community enables MEI to support Christian leaders in their journey, which includes challenging their assumptions about life and God, and seeking to inspire a deeper trust in Him. Ministry Essentials uses a variety of methods to gather, build, and deepen spiritual community both at their chosen hubs and on-location.

Methods include:

Gather community through Hospitality, Praise Gatherings, and Community Development.

Build Community through Training, Coaching, Debriefs, and TCK testing.

Deepen Community through Counseling, Discipleship, Spiritual Friendship, and Conflict Resolution.

For the Budapest Garden House, our specific strategies are in light of the refugee crisis. National pastors and cross-cultural workers in the region are asking for help with post-traumatic stress syndrome, trauma care, debriefing, and living in community with these issues and more. Through the Garden House we will offer:
• Soul care
• Debriefs
• Counseling intensives
• Spiritual retreats
• Training in spiritual formation specifically related to ministry challenges like Marriage, Parenting, Team dynamics, Trauma care, Conflict resolution, Listening to God, Resiliency, Pastoral Care.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Members of our team already serve leaders in Asia, the Balkans, Central Asia, Southeast
Asia, the Middle East, and Russia.

Our 19 staff members are highly trained in counselling and spiritual direction. Our more specialized staff have further training in their areas of expertise--like trauma counselling and care, school psychological testing, and education.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

In the 20 years of MEI's work, we have increased our staff from 2 to 19 professionals doing work in 12 countries, with each team member serving approximately 80 Christian leaders per year.

Our new endeavor, the Budapest Garden House, is undergoing a reboot. Over the past four and a half years, it has been a place for crisis intervention and local community building. Starting fall of 2017, it has become a Soul Care and Training Center.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Guiding Director / President

Dr. David Shepherd

Seeing a need for the ongoing spiritual nourishment and development of Christian leaders, Dr. David & Jeanni Shepherd researched and finally came to the conclusion, through the advice of others, to form a US based 501(c) 3 nonprofit mission agency to meet the spiritual needs of leaders in 1996. Now, 20 years later, we have staff working in Asia, Europe, and North America providing training and equipping, soul care, counseling, debriefing from trauma, and educational assessment for children of Christian workers.
