Leadership journal is committed to strengthen pastors and church leaders through honest and realistic writing that encourages biblical faithfulness and personal effectiveness.

For over 20 years, Leadership has served as the model for Apuntes Pastorales, a Spanish-language magazine for pastors and church leaders. Over the last 6 years, Christianity Today International (Leadership journal's parent company) has developed an even stronger ministry relationship with Desarrollo Cristiano Internacional (translated Christian Leadership Development), the publisher of Apuntes Pastorales.

For over 25 years, Desarrollo Cristiano Internacional (DCI) has provided a wide variety of Spanish resources for Christian church leaders who in most cases have very little or no access to training materials.

One resource, Apuntes Pastorales/Mujer Lider (Pastoral Notes/Woman Leader) magazine, is a leadership oriented, interdenominational magazine which has been published for over 21 years. It provides practical and biblical help for ministry, addresses ministry related topics, and deals with the issues that pastors face on a daily basis. In 2003, Apuntes Pastorales, became two magazines in one, incorporating on its reverse side and with separate cover, a magazine for women in leadership, as a response to the increasing need of training tools for women who served in different ministries. Maybe your church has a spanish-speaking congregation that meets at your facility, or maybe you have a connection with spanish-speaking missionaries in Central or South America. A subscription to Apuntes Pastorales/Mujer Lider for those leaders would be a perfect gift that shares practical biblical help for their ministry. Subscribe or give a gift subscription today

Learn more about Desarrollo Cristiano
There are over 220.000 pastors serving throughout the continent. Most of them serve in situations of great difficulty, struggling with poverty, violence, unemployment and isolation. Only 20 % of these pastors have had the opportunity to receive formal theological education. Most of them have no access to literature, books, courses or seminars.

Our aim, in Desarrollo Cristiano Internacional, is to provide encouragement and formation for these heroes of the faith. We seek not only to supply them with tools to enhance their ministry performance, but also to provide the necessary sustenance for their own spiritual growth and development. Read more
