Training Urban Leaders

The Urban Ministry Institute is about to start its Fall session! The growth these classes have seen in the past year is very exciting. With seminary level classes that require no prerequisites and are affordable and incorporate practical ministry training, The Urban Ministry Institute desires to train up strong and godly urban church leadership. World Impact St. Louis is one of many satellite locations, and is looking forward to the tremendous opportunities to strengthen and expand the church body within inner-city St. Louis through The Urban Ministry Institute.

Please pray for the this ministry. 1) Pray for the instructors, that God will prepare them to lead these classes and that God will bring more instructors to this important ministry. Often it is difficult for students who have little formal education to complete the required readings and assignments, so 2) pray that God will give the students perseverance, and that He will bless them for their desire to know Him more. 3) Pray for the future growth of this ministry, as these classes continue to connect congregations in St. Louis and seek to train future leadership within the city.
