2008 Republic of Lithuania Leadership Training

At the invitation of the Lithuanians, Future Leadership Foundation worked with pastors, staff and lay people of 20 invited churches, October 9-12, in an event called Find Us Faithful.

The Lithuanian team from Kaunas who did the planning consisted of:

• Arturas Puckovas, chair, pastor, Good News Baptist Church
• Gediminas Kapustavicius, pastor, Christ's Mission Baptist Church
• Arturas Narbutas, pastor, God's Grace Baptist Church
• Mindaugas Diksaitis, asst. pastor/youth, Good News Baptist Church
• Nathan Leuthold, American missionary in Lithuania, also took part

A pre-conference seminar "Building Ministry Teams in the Church, including men's ministry" was another request and was provided for pastors.

Lay persons and pastors then chose from several track options: Preschool/Children's Sunday School training; Youth Sunday School and youth ministry training and Adult Small Group training.

The team for this training was:

• Brian Ford, pastor, Little Bonne Femme Baptist Church, Ashland, MO
• Sharon Land, children's specialist, Fee Fee Baptist Church, Bridgeton MO
• Jerry Frazier, associate pastor, Groveton Baptist Church, Alexandria, VA

The attendees evaluated their experience and the results are here
