Women’s Leadership Network Training Initiative
In Burundi, LEADStrong walks beside two major ministry initiatives led entirely by local leaders.
The Women’s Leadership Network is already serving leaders from around the region. At a recent conference, 125 women gathered for biblical teaching and leadership development—hungry to learn and lead within their congregations and contexts, MANY asked when we would return, when there would be the opportunity for more training and for more women. Groups are requesting teaching, and a team of core leaders is being developed to serve this need.
Alongside this, a community center in Bujumbura is growing into a place of Christian formation and community care. This center hosts conferences, ministry training, counseling, child-sponsorship programming, and new discipleship initiatives, among other ministry initiatives. It is a remarkable example of mature local leadership shaping creative practical and spiritual ministry for their city.
This is a story of leaders rising, ministries forming, and new opportunities taking root in Burundi.
