About Our Organization

When John C. Maxwell and a few friends launched EQUIP in 1997, their vision was to equip international Christian leaders to effectively serve the growing Body of Christ.

It was their conviction that strong, effective leaders must be developed worldwide if the Great Commission is to be fulfilled. The Great Commission is the mandate Jesus gave us.  Leadership development is the model that he demonstrated for us.  During His public ministry, Jesus spent the greatest amount of His time training a group of leaders to impact the world.

Since 1997, EQUIP has been serving Christian leaders around the world who have great leadership potential, but limited access to much-needed training and resources.  EQUIP is absolutely convinced that if Christian leaders around the world are trained, resourced, and encouraged, there is no limit to what can be accomplished in fulfilling the Great Commission!

To see effective Christian leaders fulfill the Great Commission in every nation.

To equip international Christian leaders to effectively serve the growing Body of Christ around the world.

To provide strategic leadership training through conferences, resources, partnerships and technology.

We invite you to invest your prayers, talents and financial resources with EQUIP to develop effective Christian leaders who will reach the nations for Christ.
