At this very moment our fellow Global Training Network staff are all over the world meeting the great need for the training of indigenous pastors in the developing world.
Here in New York, they come to us!
Last weekend, we had the privilege to conduct a training at a Spanish speaking immigrant church in The Bronx. The pastor asked us to help them learn how to have more healthy communication. There was such great interest in the subject that they asked us to come back later this month to conduct a communication workshop!
The session was videotaped, so we are attaching it so you can catch a glimpse of one aspect of our work here: training immigrant leaders. To watch video, just click here. If you want to fast forward to hear Caryn’s portion, she starts teaching at 20:00, and we interact during that section with some personal stories of resolving conflict. (You can watch even without a FaceBook account, just select full screen option if ads block view)
Thank you for your partnership which results in more healthy and equipped immigrant leaders like those at Iglesia Evangélica Misionera del Bronx; in planting missional churches in Post Christian places; and in helping abuse survivors finding healing in Christ.
In His Love,
John and Caryn

Married since 1986, and having three great boys, John and Caryn have a long history with GTN’s founders, Paul and Lisa! Caryn and Lisa have been friends since Junior High school, and Lisa and her family played a great role in Caryn coming to faith in Christ as a high school student.
"As a newly married couple, we were challenged by Paul, who was the youth pastor at Northwest Community Church, to take on greater ministry responsibilities while youth leaders there. John later succeeded Paul in that same role, where he learned how to multiply spiritual leaders. John also succeeded Paul as a church planter, Paul planting NCC’s first church plant, John the second. It now seems so natural for us to join with Paul and Lisa on staff with GTN, having the same passion to raise up leaders!"
John is a native New Yorker and Caryn grew up in Arizona. John is a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo, holds an M.Div. from Phoenix Seminary, and is ordained in the Missionary Church.
