What is the KALEO Network - Arkansas?
The Arkansas Baptist State 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 – Arkansas 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 - Arkansas 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 Arkansas Baptist State 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.
