The Northern Conference, part of the Southern-Indian African Division (SID) is based in Johannesburg South Africa recently explored the potential of the Ministry Development Portal to help their pastors better lead, develop and resource their leadership from internship to Retirement. Training sessions took place at the Northern Conference Minister's meetings in Sedaven in October, with continuing training and support being provided as the team transitions from activity-based reporting to leadership-style Ministry Mapping tools designed to help pastors more fully engage their local church leaders. "This is just what we have been looking for!" said Pr Reece Anderson when he discovered the MD Portal. It is hoped that other Conferences in SID will benefit from the pilot in Northern Conference.
