Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts: Recognizing and Developing Grassroots Potential
Develop Leaders in Culturally Relevant Ways
Often, church planters, disciplers, and pastors struggle to identify grassroots leaders and develop them in their context. As leaders who want to develop other leaders, our task is to come alongside these leaders and learn and grow together with them.
Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts focuses on how to develop grassroots Christian leaders across cultures. These often unrecognized leaders mostly lead small groups at the growing edges of the church. They are ordinary people who faithfully share Christ amid the demands of daily life. Another focus of the book is shaping the character of developers as they humbly walk beside leaders in the leaders’ community.
Using the four C’s of Christian leadership—Community, Character, Clarity, and Care—the authors weave together research, experience, and practical application to show how these characteristics are expressed across different cultures. The book then discusses five principles, illustrated in common settings, for an intentional process that develops leaders and their communities collectively. Take the next step now in developing yourself and others in the task of leading Jesus’s church wherever that might be.

Very relevant to anyone doing leadership work in intercultural settings. Very easy to read and yet packed with important research and experience based principles.

I read this book in preparation for attending a conference at which there are leaders from a variety of backgrounds and contexts. I appreciated the frameworks that were illustrated by examples the authors have collected from their own experiences and the experiences of others. One of my key take-aways is the necessity of coming alongside leaders in their context in order to observe the kind of followership they get from people in their own community.
