ELIAS PROYECT - English Version

ELIAS PROJECT

"Disciples Making Disciples of all Ethnicities"

Train /  Supervise / Delegate

 

The School for Amazon Indigenous Leaders (ELIAS) is a project born in the heart of God and responds to the need to provide contextualized biblical training, taking into account the situation of the students and give them the tools needed to develop discipleship programs in their home communities and to teach the Word of God in a clear, simple and healthy way.

 The ELIAS Project will teach a curriculum designed for use in an indigenous context. The curriculum emphasizes the usefulness of the training in the development of the church. It also visualizes the natives as suitable workers to do the work of evangelism in their own communities and to mobilize their church to the spread of the Gospel. Once one empowers leaders, one can reach more people and more communities in less time.

The three major areas of work in ELIAS are: To Train, To Supervise and To Delegate. These will be developed as follows:

1.                          The establishment of the Bible Training School aimed at pastors and leaders of indigenous communities. ELIAS "Amazonas School Leaders."

2.                          The follow up of the leaders who are preparing in the Bible Training Center, wiht constants visits to them in their communities.

3.                          The production of evangelism and discipleship material to be distributed and used in communities.
