This past week, a colleague shared quite a find:
http://www.keystoneproject.org/
There are tons of resources on the “Training Downloads” page. Has anyone tried these and, if so, can anyone share (in one of the Comment boxes following the web version of this item) how helpful this stuff is please? Because it LOOKS awesome… for instruction on discipleship and what it requires, the Holy Spirit, and disciplemaking movements. And it LOOKS like all this stuff is absolutely free. Could it be true?

Global Frontier Missions has been training missionaries to serve among unreached people groups for over 12 years. They started in Oaxaca, Mexico and now have a training base in Atlanta where they equip people while making disciples among refugee populations from over 50 countries. GFM also just launched an online version of their training program for those that live overseas. It is a great way to get pre-field training before heading abroad or to sharpen your skills if you are already overseas and want additional tools for ministry.

Kingdom Come Training can train and coach you to full funding in a few months rather than a few years. It is all done over live, interactive videoconferencing which means you can get the training anywhere in the world with Internet access. Some faith ministry workers are getting their full funding without leaving their field location.
One recent participant wrote: “Together, the trainer and coach give such service that it is virtually impossible to fail if you do what they tell you, which, by the way, is a lot of fun! I have enjoyed this so much, would recommend it to anyone, and still can’t believe I am 100% supported in five months for a family of four.”

But do you know of any other such listings of relevant training for community development, either in CHE form or the new “Neighborhood Transformation” format for urban areas? If so, please click “comment” after the web version of this item and we’ll all be glad you did.
