Agape Portugal’s leader’s mindset was challenged through TPD and the ministry reached a critical turning point.
Pedro says that “dependence on God is the path they chose to find freedom, which enables them to fulfil His calling.”

TPD IS LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
TPD IS LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Our mission demands an increasing base of leadership to go beyond the current reality. Therefore, we must develop our leaders. Too often doing partner development has been overlooked as a viable context for growing leadership roles and responsibilities.
TPD focuses primarily on the following:
Attitudes ⇩
Attitudes ⇩
Partner Development is a people-oriented ministry
Good financial stewardship
Giving partners the opportunity for Kingdom-investment
Knowledge ⇩
Knowledge ⇩
Biblical background of partner development
Basics of general communications and partner development
Different strategies to involve financial team partners
Skills ⇩
Skills ⇩
Telling or writing attractive stories
The 6 Rights of Asking
Create and implement the Plan of Action
Attitudes, knowledge and skills grow when you are raising crowds of ministry fans who provide prayer support and financial resources. This creates a fertile ground for significant and lasting leadership development.
LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK: SPOKESPERSON
LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK: SPOKESPERSON
Our global Leadership Framework explains who leaders are and what leaders do. TPD fits into our organisation’s Leadership Framework because TPD is leadership development.
Spokesperson is only one of the roles in the Leadership Framework. Not every person has this role, but we all contribute to it. As a team we need to function as the Spokesperson for our ministry.
In the TPD Programme you will learn together with your teammates how to contribute uniquely to the role of the Spokesperson.
“Being a spokesperson is not about how well you speak, but about how much and how passionately you believe in what you are doing. If you don’t think this is the best thing you can possibly do with your life, resign and do something different.” - Paul Eshleman, founder of the JesusFilm
ORGANISATIONAL FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
ORGANISATIONAL FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
If a National Leadership Team wants to become financially self-sustainable, then 5 EVERYs need to be supported and promoted.
What is the connection between TPD and 5 EVERYs? ⇩⇩
Most national teams are quite well positioned for EVERY STAFF with D/MPD training and coaching.
TPD training focuses on EVERY LEADER and on EVERY TEAM.
EVERY OFFICE will grow in capacity as it supports TPD teams in their next steps.
As a ministry team integrates TPD into their regular ministry activity, then over time EVERY CITY will be reached.
