The Coaches

MCNet Coaches

Being recognized as a Ministry Coach in the Network signifies that one identifies with the core values and is using our materials to bring about the transformation process with existing leaders and organizations or mentoring new leaders to develop new ministries and organizations. While each coach is part of the global network, they typically are engaged in local ministries and part of other organizations. MCNet does not have a hierarchical structure focused on position, rather it is a movement of like-minded leaders committed to raising up another generation of servant leaders within their context.

Currently we have Associate and Ministry Coaches in Eastern & Western Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Africa, Latin America, and North America.
