Summary:

Six months after the 2023 Global Proclamation Congress in Panama, Dr. Robby Richard highlighted the key objectives of the GProCommission: 1,000 pastor trainers, each raising one new trainer annually to reach 100,000 new pastor trainers by 2030, and 1 million better-equipped pastors to address the global training deficit. He emphasized the need for collaboration between churches, organizations, and institutions across nonformal, formal, and informal training sectors. Facilitators Nadine Karam and Clarence Seh shared personal stories of progress in Lebanon, Cameroon, and beyond, detailing the challenges and successes of connecting pastor trainers globally. Clarence noted how the GProCommission initiative linked pastors with training resources, particularly in regions with limited access to formal education. Testimonies from Colombia and the Philippines showcased the impact of the GProCommission’s vision, illustrating how pastors were being trained and sent to multiply the number of trained pastors.
