EMPOWERING PASTORS AND CHURCHES

We believe that a local church with a strong pastor is a pillar of Christ in a community. Latin Equip supports, encourages, and mentors pastors so they can minister and make a life-changing impact wherever God has called them to.

  • One-on-One Mentoring

    We meet with individual pastors to assist and assess any situation they are facing in their church, helping them cast vision and set the direction of their ministry.

  • Online and In-Person Counseling

    We meet with pastors or pastoral couples to help them walk through personal challenges that church leaders cannot share with church members or others in their organization.

  • Roundtables

    An invited pastor shares a message of hope and challenge with 10-15 pastoral couples from a given region or city. Participants list their greatest challenges and choose several to address as a group, allowing everyone to come away with real-life solutions to issues they are facing and build lasting friendships that benefit the community.

    Latin Equip has been a blessing for our lives and ministry. Through their initiatives, events and trainings that they host, we have been able to see the encouragement, love and care of God. Additionally, they have enabled us to connect with other pastors in the city, hear them, and link up with the grace that is in them, sharing missions and challenges we all have in common; we have been able to receive from the wisdom of the group in different strategies and solutions that were a great help in particular moments in our life.

    This team has helped me to see the other side of pastoral life that nobody else sees. A more human side, that in the midst of our imperfections we are guided to change. Thank you for accompanying us, for helping us feel we’re not alone in the race, and know that there are others who are also running in the same direction with challenges, but together perfecting ourselves along the way. We’ve seen the followup in the work of God. What is not overseen, doesn’t grow.

    The ministry of Latin Equip quickly became the right answer to our prayers. We consider them a great spiritual covering; they’re our pastors. During our time of friendship, in our different stages of life, we have been blessed by their sincere love and care. As young pastors, now we don’t feel alone; God put them in our lives to encourage and help us to fulfill the plans of God for our lives.
