Twenty-two emerging leaders from nine organisations attended this year’s AMLT.

Over eight hundred leaders have received training in the past twenty-two years through the India Missions Association’s (IMA) Advance Missions Leadership Training (AMLT). AMLT has greatly impacted the Church’s thinking in India concerning missions. Twenty-two emerging leaders from nine organisations attended this year’s AMLT, held 2-15 September 2007 at Satyodayam in Secunderabad, India. AMLT 2007 sought to achieve the following objectives:

• To envision more leaders to meet the increasing challenges in transforming the nation.

• To envision a bigger picture of the national and global mission challenges and prepare adequate leadership.

• To assist in understanding the contemporary missiological issues and mission scenario.

• To create awareness of the principles of leadership from scriptural and management perspectives.
• To create a desire for continuous learning of leadership, management and communication.
• To allow current IMA leaders to spend time with the new leaders.
