Topics
DISASTER AND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF
Jesus Christ predicted wars, rumors of wars, plagues, famine, pestilence, and earthquakes as signs of the end of the age. Today, we often hear of sudden desolation and tragedy in developed and undeveloped areas of the world. Readily accessible ambulances, medical staff, passable roads, clean
water, and food distribution are important immediate concerns. However, disease prevention and emotional distress due to loss, disorientation, and dislocation create additional concerns. Trainees receive practical training in planning for and implementing place-based disaster relief in such circumstances. Trainees learn to plan for and respond proactively to coming calamities and crises.
The curriculum goes beyond this immediate response. Recent history allows us to anticipate longer term impacts and need for humanitarian relief. Attending to human needs in the aftermath – when relief workers have moved to another location – is required to address the longer term impacts including disease burden, displacement, orphaned children, and increased interpersonal violence. Additional training helps trainees to explore and develop potential solutions for humanitarian relief preparedness and continuing community redevelopment based on what we know.
Disaster and humanitarian relief may assume various foci depending on the location, nature of the disaster, availability and accessibility of resources, availability of aid, length and extent of the disaster and compounding factors, and both positive and negative impacts of aid. While needs vary, these relief opportunities are unique moments to change the course of human lives, their spirits, their families, their communities, and their countries. Both immediate and proactive approaches are discussed. Trainees are encouraged to develop proactive plans for implementation upon returning to the mission field as well as in their homes and faith communities.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Global Leadership Training Center (GLTC) curriculum focuses on developing human assets among trainees and enhancing holistic approaches to global community development. The curriculum follows the New Testament foreign missions model and local evangelism by teaching, training, and equipping servant-leaders to improve quality of life on earth and to promote Kingdom advancement. The curriculum trains these leaders (1) to train other leaders and (2) to galvanize collaborative support to advance local agenda.
Employing proven
Christian community development strategies, the curriculum is a catalyst for a transformational journey: from personal transformation to sustainable community transformation. Increased dependence on the local faith community and international partners empowers those who can best assess local assets (used and unused) and critical gaps to design effective strategies.
With more than 30 years of successful literacy, health, environmental, and wellness missions, staff and faculty have built an interactive curriculum that equips leaders to foster wholeness, sustainability, and advancement. Moreover, trainees are exposed to cutting edge strategies with proven effectiveness. With local cooperation, investment is reinforced and sustained by GLTC trainees and their partners for better tomorrows in critical areas.
Literacy
Nearly 130 million children worldwide have never entered a classroom and suffered because of substandard educational facilities. The GLTC network of guest instructors, alumni, and trainees including foreign nationals is a rich resource to birth effective partnership strategies to improve learning resources and to plant indigenous schools.
Bible Translation
One of the greatest obstacles in completing the unfulfilled task of global evangelism is Bible translation. There are 8,000 languages into which the Bible has not been translated. GLTC trainees learn effective techniques in Bible translation for practical application in changing times. Bible translation addressed from a holistic perspective employs many approaches. These approaches facilitate on-time, in-time learning and applications that transforms. They include literacy, sociolinguistics, ethnomusicology, anthropology, linguistics as well as literal translation. Employing various approaches makes the richness of the Biblical Word more understandable and more applicable in these times.
Infrastructure Construction and Rehabilitation
One of the most needed components for international community development is safe, durable construction. Often, adequate and safe environments for living as well as health and education are not accessible due to economics, warfare, drought, and other natural or manmade phenomena. Investing in human capital, GLTC empowers trainees to enhance their talents and those of their fellow citizens to build interior roads, houses, schools, clinics and to dig wells. In addition, the GLTC curriculum explores land development strategies that promote effective use of resources for life and living.
Social Enterprise
The Center does not receive financial gain from any project. However, it helps trainees to identify and pursue social enterprise opportunities. That is, sustaining change in any life area requires monetary investment. These opportunities provide opportunities for local job creation.
INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH
Water Sanitation
Trainees learn the complex relationship between clean water and economic, physical, and reproductive development over generations. Trainees exit with expert knowledge to conduct demonstration projects and to train others to install economical water filtration systems at points of delivery.
Nutritional Health
Food insecurity may be attributed to many causes including famine, war, poor agricultural practices, parasites, micro-nutrient deficiencies, and food quality. Every year 15 million children die of hunger. Three billion people in the world today struggle to survive on $2 per day.
The GLTC curriculum encourages stateside leaders and foreign nationals to co-labor together in customizing feeding programs based on the nutrient needs of a designated region. This approach parallels other work in agricultural development including agribusiness, irrigation, and farming. Coupling a feeding program with agricultural development opens the door for economic empowerment, social enterprise, investment in human capital, and economic stability. This empowerment promotes an attitude of self-sufficiency and self-reliance among trainees who transfer knowledge to local populations.
In addition to water-borne parasites, poor soil quality and drought contribute to specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies, taken together, these challenges impact general health. Moreover, they impact cognitive, physical, economic, and intergenerational health. Consequently, effects jeopardize economic security, deplete resources, and endanger future generations. Trainees receive an overview of these challenges and explore practical solutions with attention to critical indicators.
AIDS Prevention and Major Diseases
Many developing countries do not have access to public health clinics and hospitals. The Center trains leaders to organize mobile clinic units, rally awareness campaigns for AIDS prevention and other diseases; to screen during pregnancy or life development to identify life challenges that can be proactively addressed; and to develop free community health workshops and prenatal programs to help eradicate high infant mortality rates in 10/40 Window countries. Proper healthcare in developing nations empower people groups with a lifelong legacy.
Other major diseases (e.g., epilepsy) arise as major concerns based on local concerns expressed by apprentices. Shared concerns offer opportunity for economies of scale and regional impacts when considering solutions.
Violence
On the international agenda, aggressive and violent behavior between and among various population segments is recognized as a leading, worldwide public health problem. Civil war, human trafficking, and other indicators are included. Whether intentional or unintentional, violence drains brainpower; diminishes economic security; endangers food security; and jeopardizes reproductive and other human assets essential to a more vibrant future. The impacts are far-reaching. Our training seeks to increase trainee awareness of these challenges to promote local assessment of the burden of violence; and to facilitate the development of resident-driven solutions to reduce the frequency, types, and effects of violence.
