The "Pastoral Leadership That Transforms" Training Process 

PLT is a vision-based coaching and training process for Pastors and leaders. PLT equips churches to more effectively and intentionally utilize the ministries of the entire church to work together in a coordinated way to make disciples.

PLT helps churches:

• Make disciples, not just attenders.
• Make disciples, not just believers.
• Improve church health.
• Build strong leaders. 
• Maintain shared vision, direction, and Biblical purpose.
• Reproduce other disciple-making churches

PLT not only casts a vision for making disciples in the local church, but it also provides thorough training in how to implement disciple-making church principles, including careful instruction on navigating the change process.

PLT is also a valuable tool to assist church planters worldwide in developing churches focused on the Great Commission.

How does PLT work?

PLT is a training process, not a one-time event.

Through this process, churches will discover how to translate Jesus’ 1st Century disciple-making mandate into 21st Century reality.

Churches will meet together for instruction, workshop time, and coaching. The schedule is determined in conjunction with local leadership. Overseas, every effort is made to adapt the training to effectively communicate in your culture. It is highly recommended that pastors bring a team of leaders with them to each session. The team completes reading and practical assignments between meetings. World Ministries staff offer in-person, telephone, or e-mail coaching throughout the process.
