INTERNSHIP
Our strategy is to partner with indigenous Disciples Makers and Christ-centered organizations in strategic locations to establish Agriculture Multiplication Centers; where disciples are multiplied, breeding flocks are created, sustained and people are equipped for sustainable poultry production.
The purpose of the Agricultural Multiplication Centers is create an environment where disciples are reproduced and sustainable poultry production models are multiplied! Our first priority is to prayerfully recruit, select and invest into younger leaders who are seeking AFTER more — available, faithful,
teachable, enthused about the things of God and responsive to leadership. (Luke 5:1-11) Once they are chosen, they will be equipped and sent out with the character, knowledge and skills to plant Gospel Communities and develop small poultry enterprises – wherever God calls them!
To effectively multiply sustainable flocks of standard-bred poultry, we must partner
with our indigenous leaders to create model farms of sustainable agriculture so that
those being mentored can experience the “real life model” and learn from it.

GPI is led by a Ministry Council! The council consists of advisors, trainers, teachers, supporters and regional country leaders who desire to serve the movement and participate in annual council gatherings. They provide the spiritual and missional direction of all SPN movements around the world. Within the council is an executive team of three who serve as overseers and of the entire movement. SPN movements are led by national service teams who are appointed by the executive council of GPI!
