With the issues being faced in developing countries, a community can only rise as high as its best servant-leaders. Through Leadership Development, we believe we need to equip and strengthen leaders who can transform their communities and bring hope. That’s why our programs encourage and challenge individuals to be servant-hearted, focusing on the needs of their community. We aim to create a solid foundation for change by investing in local women and men who lead in love.

One of the Lead Like Jesus groups discussing the topics of the week.

Around 70% of families are broken homes in The Bahamas, with women leading 90% of those homes. Challenges between Haitian Bahamians and Haitian migrants often cause tension in the community. Servant leadership is needed to bring the entire community together now more than ever.

The Leads Like Jesus curriculum was adapted to the Bahamian culture and context based on the foundation established in Haiti. Fifteen leaders are enrolled in the first level of training, which started earlier this year.

In addition to this core program, we will connect with global leadership experts to conduct conferences, teachings, and knowledge-sharing sessions with leaders of leaders in communities. These sessions specifically address servant leadership topics and aim to overcome barriers to true community development.

A thriving legacy for countries in the Caribbean starts with developing leaders. Your year-end gift of helping develop leaders will build upon the strong foundation and propel our ministry to continue in 2024.
