WE DO THIS THROUGH FIVE KEY ACTIVITIES: COMING ALONGSIDE - TO LISTEN, UNDERSTAND, LOVE, PRAY WITH, AND SERVE THEM EQUIPPING FOR GODLY CHURCH LEADERSHIP - THROUGH SHEPHERDING, TRAINING, AND COACHING THEM BY EXPERIENCED PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS PROVIDING TRANSFORMATIVE GOSPEL COMMUNITY - FOR SUPPORT, PEER-TO-PEER FELLOWSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY, AND BIBLICAL IDENTITY FORMATION IN CHRIST ENGAGING WITH SPOUSES - AS THEY MANAGE THEIR UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ROLES AS PARTNERS, CONGREGANTS, AND MINISTRY LEADERS MULTIPLYING MENTORSHIP REGIONALLY AND WORLDWIDE - BY TEACHING THEM TO BE MENTORS, AND BY SHARING OUR MATERIALS AND EXPERIENCE WITH THEM AND OTHERS. LGM HAS THREE FULL TIME STAFF ENGAGED IN MULTIPLE COHORTS AND ELEVEN ADJUNCT MENTORS EACH WITH AT LEAST 15 YEARS OF MINISTRY EXPERIENCE. EACH COHORT IS GUIDED BY A CURRICULUM THAT CENTERS ON A COMBINATION OF EMPIRICALLY VERIFIED BEST PRACTICES FOR LONGEVITY IN MINISTRY, SPIRITUAL ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PASTORS AND LEADERS, AND SKILL BUILDING IN THE MOST CRITICAL AREAS OF MINISTRY PRACTICE. SPANNING A TWO-YEAR CYCLE, THESE COHORTS ADDRESS THE PRESENT, EQUIP FOR THE FUTURE, AND CREATE A CONTEXT FOR LIFELONG ENCOURAGEMENT AMONG PEERS IN MINISTRY. WE HAVE REGULAR EVENTS FOR COHORT ALUMNI THAT REVISIT FOUNDATIONS, PROVIDE PASTORAL INSIGHT AND TRAINING ON CURRENT MINISTRY TRENDS, AND CREATE A CONTEXT FOR COHORT GRADUATES TO RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR MENTORS AND COHORT PEERS.
