What is the KALEO Network - Arizona?
The Arizona Southern
Baptist Convention is partnering with the North American Mission
Board, local associations, and churches to assist emerging leaders who
are exploring a call to ministry. The KALEO Network provides the support
and resources emerging leaders need to be the powerful ministers of the
gospel God has called them to be. The KALEO Network – Arizona creates a
network of emerging leaders within the state who are being mentored
specifically toward their ministry goals. Emerging leaders also get
valuable practical experience to begin putting their God-given call into
practice.
Who is involved in the KALEO Network?
The
KALEO Network - Arizona will be rooted in the work of the local church
which has been given the responsibility and privilege of guiding
emerging leaders to answer God’s specific call on their life. The KALEO
Network, consisting of churches, associations, the Arizona Southern
Baptist Convention, Southern Baptist agencies, mentors, and coaches, all
work together to equip and empower emerging ministerial leaders.
Who are KALEO Network Coaches?
Through
the KALEO Network, emerging leaders will work with their church leader
to find a coach. The coach will be a minister the emerging leader knows
and trusts to make an investment in their life to help them become the
person the Lord is calling them to be. KALEO Network coaches will meet
with their emerging leader on a regular basis to develop and work
through a developmental plan designed to guide them toward their
ministry goals.
KALEO Network Regional Coaches will be placed
with a small number of emerging leader/coach pairs. They will be trained
in the various resources that will equip students in their pursuit of
their ministry goals. Regional coaches will communicate regularly with
coaches to give them the resources and encouragement they need to invest
in their emerging leader. They will also work to provide quarterly
opportunities for students in the same region to meet together for times
of fellowship and sharing what the Lord is teaching them.
