Who We Are
The Gospel Leaders Initiative is led by a group of Christian leaders longing to see a gospel movement in the Gulf resulting in all peoples having access to hear the gospel and be discipled in a church. We are convinced this starts by raising up gospel-centered leaders who are making disciples in their workplaces, neighborhoods and churches as well as helping to planting churches.
This is a God-sized vision and aim when we consider that in most of our cities, less than 1% of people are Christ-followers. Dependant upon God, we pursue this vision by catalyzing discipleship and leadership development across churches. We desire to build collaboration among gospel leaders by creating opportunties for fellowship, mutual encouragement, equipping, and training. We pray this leads to gospel advancement across workplaces, neighborhoods, and cities.
