 Eagles Leadership Institute (ELI) is kicking off a major programme to raise 50 Christian youth leaders in Asia with its first “Emerging Leader Development Programme (ELDP) next April.
Participants will come from four countries: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
ELI has appointed NECF to coordinate the selection of 15 youth leaders aged between 27 and 40 to undergo the three-year programme. In turn, NECF has formed a three-man panel to choose participants serving in the church, government and marketplace.
 The panel comprises Ong Hwai Teik, President of Trinity Annual Conference (the English conference of the Malaysian Methodist Church); Rev. Wong Fong Yang, Senior Pastor of City Discipleship Presbyterian Church and former moderator of the Presbyterian Synod; and NECF Secretary-General Rev. Wong Kim Kong.
Scheduled to start next April, the ELDP aims to develop and equip the next generation of Asian leaders who will impact the church, marketplace and government. The programme will focus on four key aspects in their training: Person, Performance, Perspectives, and Partnership.
Participants will be placed in small groups of four or five under the care of a facilitator.
During the three years, they will meet regularly for personal mentoring and project work aimed at nurturing interaction and creating a leadership network that will transcend national, denominational, culture and ministry boundaries.
A ministry of Eagles Communications, ELI seeks to equip and empower existing and emerging leaders for the church and marketplace in Asia. The institute has trained over 5,000 leaders over the past 10 years.
