Description
We will gather 24 emerging leaders for a two-year cohort with four residential weeks in Prague. Each participant is paired with an experienced mentor from another country. The programme covers character, team leadership, finances and preaching.
Problem
Many ministries in the region are led by one founder with no successor. Young leaders burn out without mentoring.
Solution
A cross-border cohort where leaders learn from mentors and from each other, building lasting friendships across the region.
Activities
Four residential weeks; monthly mentor calls; a ministry project per participant; a final retreat.
Target population
Ministry leaders aged 25–40 from Czechia, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary
