Training Church Leaders
SOS International is meeting the training needs of the leaders of the Christian Church around the world. By God’s grace, we’ve trained Pastors and Church Leaders in 45% of the World’s Countries and fulfilled more than 1000 unique ministry training requests in places where quality ministry training is almost impossible to find. All of this training is offered without cost to those being trained.
If you are interested in knowing more about how you can expand your ministry to international proportions through passing on what God has put on deposit with you in the areas of education, training, material (books, manuals, materials) and financial resources, please contact us.
Ministry Opportunities
Indigenous ministry leaders are eager to receive vital training to reach and disciple their communities and nations. These shepherds of God’s people, however, have little access to any meaningful training opportunities.
Currently we receive more requests for training than we can fulfill. A lack of resources and ready and available trainers keep us from answering 20% of training invitations. As a result, leaders who want and need training go untrained.
SOS International sends experienced pastors and trainers to provide the training leaders are asking for.
Here’s what Dr. David Fasold, Pastor of Bay Hills Church says about his experience training leaders around the world:
“SOS International’s work is critically important to the health and growth of the church around the world. It’s focus on training pastors and leaders who will thereafter implement what they have learned in their local churches is both strategic and wise. As I have participated in various training opportunities provided by SOS International, I have found the pastors hungry to learn, incredibly appreciative, and eager to strengthen their churches.
From a personal perspective, it’s been both an exciting “adventure” as well as a blessing to interact with brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. I’d highly recommend you serve the church around the world through SOS.”
Dr. Garry Zeek of Grace Church equipped leaders of 9 countries of West Africa while teaching at Onim Ministerial College in Accra, Ghana. Here is his summary of his experience.
” I have never taught a more spiritually hungry and passionate group of believers. My congregation thanked me for leading by example.
To whom much is given much is required. As pastors and leaders in America we have been blessed with so much. We have unlimited opportunities for training and mentoring and we have resources, schools and so many godly examples to inspire us. I was blessed to give back to the next generation of pastors in Africa. “
SOS International has fulfilled more than 900 training conferences in 90 countries since 1979. We have a proven track record of delivering strategic training opportunities for those committed to equipping the leader-saints for the work of ministry for the building up of the Body of Christ.

“As a lead pastor for over 40 years, serving churches that had generous and robust missions budgets, I always thought that how and in whom those mission dollars were invested was an important part of the financial stewardship of the church. In the case of SOS international, having seen for myself, you can be assured that your financial involvement in SOS International is a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends for all eternity.”
