Overview

Since DAI was founded in 1996, we have been facilitating workshops designed to help leaders grow in their desire to serve others, motivated by God’s love.

The approach is interactive learning, in which participants are actively engaged in the learning experience and are encouraged to apply what they are learning to their personal ministry, whatever that might be. DAI offers many of its workshops in a series of sessions, allowing time for the leaders to apply what they’re learning in their day-to-day life, work and ministry. These workshops are contextualized by local facilitators as they adapt the materials to their setting.

Goals

The goal of each workshop is to develop the leaders’ effectiveness in managing people, money and their churches or organizations while helping them to grow spiritually.

Why Workshops Work

Rather than ask leaders to come to us, DAI takes the workshops directly to where people live, work and minister.

Each workshop is designed in response to questions leaders in Africa, Asia and Latin America are asking, making them consistently relevant. The curriculum is always grounded in Biblical principles and often includes case studies that leaders easily identify with.

Graduates of our workshops are then able to teach DAI material to others, multiplying the learning throughout their networks. Because of this, our curriculum has been translated by local leaders into more than 35 languages, making our workshops more accessible to those who need it most.

"There were no long lectures (which I had expected). It was very helpful to understand the lessons with personal involvement in the learning. I plan to use these new skills in my youth group programmes."

DAI Nepal

"This has really impacted my life. I’ve always struggled because I felt different from others. Now I understand that the way I do leadership is OK. I can walk away saying I’m comfortable with who I am and with my leadership style. Thank you so much, I am truly inspired, motivated and empowered! A few months of questions answered in 2 days."

Remona van der Byl

"I was familiar with servant leadership in theory, but not practically. In the workshop it became practical. If the DAI materials are well used in the churches, schools and in the top leadership, there will be a great change."

Alapayo Kucitiel
MAOL Graduate, Bishop of Rumbek Diocese, South Sudan

"I always thought that a leader was the boss, someone who told everyone else what to do. DAI has taught us something different. A leader is someone who serves, who gives support to people."

Juan Lopez Zumaeta
Pastor, DAI Trainer and Student, Peru

"I was surprised at how practical the workshop was and how it applied to every single person anywhere as we are all in some leadership somewhere in life. It re-invigorated me to develop my own gifts and work on my weaknesses and also develop other young leaders."
