  • Overview of the KALEO Network

    The KALEO Network, originally established in 2003 as the Missions Prep Network, was developed as a strategy of the Missionary Mobilization Team of the North American Mission Board.

    Step 2: Preparing for the first coaching session

    Step 3: The first coaching session

If not, take any necessary steps to build in accountability with another adult during the coaching session, regardless of how “safe” the coach may feel with the emerging leader. Coach/mentors should model the importance of protecting your reputation and ministry for the emerging leader.
