Leader Development
Goal: $40,000
Your gift provides soul nourishing and skill developing retreats for 25 Leaders with all supplies and materials included.
Leaders pour themselves out for others -- who is pouring the life of Christ into them? This critical component of leader development can often be overlooked. When leaders lead from a nourished and flourishing soul, their leadership is marked by compassion, discernment, and unencumbered hearts. Then, relationships and communities become less about choosing their own path and more about having the courage to follow where God is leading.

Essential Support Makes a Difference
’til Christ is formed in you
MEI staff member Eric Frey had the opportunity to care for healthcare workers at the MedRefresh Conference this month. Many workers in attendance work in remote locations with scarce resources and needs exceeding available help.
These healthcare worker face moral injuries in their day-to-day work, where an action, or the inability to prevent one, violates their deeply held values.Turning a patient away when supplies and capacity are exhausted, or taking a necessary, while infrequent, break for their own well-being, could end in worsening patient conditions or fatal outcomes.
Eric was able to meet these workers, provide comfort, and remind them of their hope in Jesus as they face the reality of their calling.
Trying to coordinate a time for national leaders to step away from their busy local ministries and come to Budapest for a marriage intensive is difficult, especially when they have small children or children in school.
That’s when caring-in-context is such a great model. It allows us to go to and work with them in their own homes and settings. A local global worker is personally footing the housing and meal costs to provide a marriage intensive for a national pastor. Praise God! That’s a beautiful commitment to their national partners.
