About Our Training…

We recently reached out to an international expert in leadership training for help and input on our Management for Church Leaders™ (MCL) training manual. Anne Manning is the Chief Learning Officer for a training organization called Achieve Global India and has 25 years of experience training leaders in India and throughout Asia. We sent her a copy of our MCL training and asked for her counsel and guidance in the preparation of our new MCL Trainer Manual to help us better prepare our foreign trainers to teach our material.  Her advice and experience were extremely helpful and we are very grateful that she would take the time to share her wisdom with us.

But she also sent us the following comments about our MCL training material that I would like to share with you:

“It was a joy partnering with Barry to edit and enhance his Management for Church Leaders Manual. In an age where there is loads of material to pick from for training Church Leaders, if I was browsing through a bookstore, I would walk away with this one! I have used various training materials to train leaders, but this is one that I would freely recommend from now on.

Why would I pick Barry’s Trainer Manual over others? It is concise, clear and very practical, with the perfectly picked 12 topics that all Church Leaders need, to understand and manage oneself, others and the resources that God has entrusted us with.

The 12 topics he has zeroed in on are very practical and each one builds on the previous, making it a steady step ladder to effective and faithful stewardship. In our day, people focus more on success than significance, and this manual helps one learn how to become a significantly faithful manager of self, others and resources.

It is evident that this manual is the outcome of years of experience with the common struggles that most Church Leaders face, which sometimes become insurmountable hurdles and even barriers to their effectiveness. Some even lose the fight and fall by the wayside, because these struggles can be so seriously overwhelming.

Thank you, Barry, for your insight into real needs of Church Leaders, discernment about how to meet these needs, and the dedication and commitment to put in the time, effort and resources to make this training manual freely available to those who need it, with no strings attached. May the Lord bless the labour of your hands, and may eternity demonstrate the real fruit of your labour.”
