Naturally, COVID-19 has hampered meeting in person. However, we completed an exciting 8-week online training journey in the summer of 2020, which has been well received and served to sharpen each one for the ministry in hand. Further ‘bridge’ training was undertaken in September with a view to starting a further 8-week training in October. However, this was postponed due to the outbreak of war. The team in Armenia are prayerfully looking at options for 2021.
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! |
“Young people can write history. We are this generation” (Georgia graduate) “We are invited to many conferences, but our expectations have been blown away here” (Armenian pastor accompanying young leaders) |
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) |
