The great need for well-trained, Christ-exulting leaders in the global and local church cannot be overstated. Having witnessed the fallouts of poorly trained pastors, for example, lessons have been learned that are worth sharing. I will expose some of the inherent struggles in leadership training that we faced in Papua New Guinea – whether with pastors or lay-leaders — and I will argue for an effective triad of learning between the local church, the local seminary, and post-seminary mentorship.
