Abstract

Peteris Sprogis and Liva Fokrote describe the non-formal education model developed by the Union of Baptist Churches in Latvia (the Union). It serves as a tool for fostering church planting movement in Latvia. They explain how a non-formal way of thinking can pervade the ethos of a denomination’s church planting strategy and mark the design and intended impact of a denomination’s vision. This is an example of how non-formal sensitivities can unlock new ways of engaging the problem of leadership development throughout the churches of an entire region. Notice the nimbleness of thinking and the expansiveness of imagination as they seek to care for the leadership needs of the church.
