Equipping Servant Leaders
They’re the REAL Heroes!
Empart’s trained field workers are the heart of all we do. Students spend 12 months learning in a Training Centre so that they are equipped to serve. The focus is on building their character as well as preparing them for life in the field.
Men and women are specially chosen for the role. Most don’t have formal education so they are learning how to study, as well as live away from home with their classmates.
The students in each Centre generally come from different cultural backgrounds. Living closely together with others who don’t share your language or experience takes some time to get used to, but their teachers guide, mentor and encourage them in their personal walk and in their studies. By the time they graduate they are a united group who have been well prepared for a powerful life of establishing and growing communities founded in love.
Tenacity and courage are two traits all our field workers have in common. They understand the meaning of giving up their own way, their comfort and security, and living their lives as He did, for all to see.
They know what it is to endure threats and persecution for their work. But they also know the joy of seeing people come to know the Truth. And so they persist, continuing to believe and trust, and love with great depth.
Equipping servant leaders is our core focus. Without well trained, disciplined workers the goal of 100,000 communities transformed will not be reached.
"Empart’s trained field workers are the heart of all we do."

Meet one of our Heroes
Jony passionately leads gatherings in four different villages. He graduated from a Training Centre in 2012. Initially people criticised him and closed doors in his face. Yet Jony was determined.
Slowly, hearts began to open. People approached him with prayer needs and miracles started happening. A small community formed and gathered under Jony’s leadership.
Soon there wasn’t enough room to contain them, so they pooled together their resources and built four walls. Empart then helped to construct a roof for them to complete their building to meet in.
“With your help to construct the roof we have been able to speak with more people because they know we are here to stay. Because of you I am encouraged and more determined. My vision is to reach all the nearby villages and help 2,000 people within five years,” Jony said.
