CERTIFICATE IN TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP 2015-16 INTERNSHIPS
CONTENTS Introduction to CML Leadership Positions: The Barn The Urban Retreat The Upper Room Presence Retail Ltd Fathers House Trust Certificate in Transformational Leadership Leadership Positions cont. Storehouse Cassiobury Farm & Fishery CML Finance & Accommodation Application & Contact WELCOME TO CML CML exists to train and equip Christian leaders to bring positive and transforming change to our world. The Certificate in Transformational Leadership is a unique programme targeted at Christians who feel ready to lead, but have yet to take on their first significant leadership assignment. The Certificate is open to all, but we have found that most who accept an internship are in the 20-30 age category. The course is best likened to the apprenticeship model favoured by Jesus. Each CML intern takes on a position of leadership in a Christian business or ministry as their primary focus, and the teaching and ministry elements of the course then sit around that core growth environment. An inspirational saying of Jesus is key for us at CML; You are the Salt of the Earth... you are the Light of the World (Matt 5: v13-14). CML hopes to raise up radical disciples of Christ to be transformational leaders ( salt ) and pioneering missionaries ( light ).
