HM Armenia, June 2022...What an amazing time in June! We conducted two History Makers training events side by side, one for more senior leaders, and the other for emerging leaders. Whilst much of the teaching was separate, there were times of coming together to worship, pray and learn. 103 leaders were trained in total, drawn from across Armenia, with 15 different cities and 8 unions of 25 churches represented. Now we wait with expectation to see what happens next...

During the pandemic, we completed an exciting 8-week online training journey, which has been well received and served to sharpen each one for the ministry in hand. Further ‘bridge’ training was undertaken online in September, taking the participants deeper into each biblical core value. Then, in February 2022, it was possible to hold a History Makers camp for a few days as 40+ participants explored the eight biblical core values for leadership.

HM Armenia/Georgia 2019...We had an amazing gathering of 90 participants for a special History Makers training at the beginning of September. Young leaders gathered from Armenia, Georgia and a few other nations including India, Iran, Ossetia and the Philippines. Training was held in three different rooms with joint times of worship and enjoying food and recreation together. It was an inspiring time as together we explored the 8 Biblical core values for leadership, and called upon the Lord for the various nations represented, and, indeed, for Europe. This was a dynamic group of young men and women who, by God’s grace, want to make a difference with their lives in Jesus’ Name. Please pray for them.

Faculty got talking to her and introduced her to the Armenian team here, who are from the same city! She came to Christ this week and attended the last couple of days of History Makers! |

HM Armenia 2018...History Makers was launched in Armenia in June 2018. 27 young leaders, from 6 churches across 5 cities, gathered near Sevan for a week exploring the 8 biblical core values for leadership. With thunderstorms almost daily, stunning views, and warm food, the week passed quickly as we met with God, seeking Him for deeper relationship and a greater understanding of the call to gospel leadership. The faculty team comprised of UK, US and Georgian nationals. Great to have alumni from HM Georgia teaching over the border here in Armenia!

“Before, I was not convinced that vision was important, but after the teaching, I realised leadership without vision is like running around the foothills of the mountain.” (Edgar, HM 2018) |
