EQUIP Celebrates Exponential Growth after 10 Years

EQUIP, once a dream and now a global ministry training over 1.5 million leaders to date, has much to celebrate in its 10th year of ministry work.

"Ten years ago, our vision was clear, but the road toward it was foggy," stated Dr. John Hull, president and CEO of EQUIP, in the ministry's annual report. "Now, ten years later, as I gaze upon the maturing vision, my heart shouts, ‘Wow! How she has changed.’"

EQUIP had begun with a conviction that strong, effective leaders must be developed worldwide for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. After the birth of the Million Leaders Mandate in 2003, growth has been "exponential" with the dream of effective leaders "rapidly becoming a reality," as Dr. Doug Carter, senior Vice President of EQUIP, stated.

"The exponential growth of the ministry of EQUIP worldwide is a modern day miracle of God's grace and favor," he said.
