Croatia: Networking and Developing Curriculum


I (Tom) was in Osijek, Croatian last week in a conference with over Pentecostal and Evangelical education leaders. The Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development was hosted by Overseas Council International. With this years’ focus on curriculum, Tom was accompanied by two faculty members from our school in Moscow - Olga Zaprometova and Alexei Gorbechev. After listening to the leaders of the other schools, we realized that our young school in Moscow is doing relatively well for its young age (the school began in 1998). But we also gained many practical ideas that will help improve our training of pastors, church workers and leaders for the future.
