This has been a full week of training a group of 15 specially chosen leaders from a church planting movement on the Kenya Coast north of Mombasa. These leaders have been selected to be equippers who will take the Bible study methods we have been giving them and teach them to other pastors and leaders in the movement. In this way, we are reaching our goal of &#8220;Develop, Empower and Release.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/dscn0168-reduced.jpg\" title=\"Eric teaching the group of equippers\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/dscn0168-reduced.jpg\" alt=\"Eric teaching the group of equippers\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/imag0168-reduced.jpg\" title=\"Kenyan kids choir in church\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/imag0168-reduced.jpg\" alt=\"Kenyan kids choir in church\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Following some initial days of preparation and strategizing with my colleagues in Kenya, and a long day of travel and preaching on Sunday, we hit the ground running on Monday.
