EQUIP training Christian leaders in Peru in aftermath of earthquake

A Christian international leadership development organization known as EQUIP is currently working with indigenous Christian leaders throughout Peru-weeks after a massive earthquake shook parts of that country. Arizona businessman Chuck Harrison and his pastor, Don Wilson, are heading to Peru as part of EQUIP's ongoing programs in that nation. The pair will meet with more than 700 leaders in Lima, only an hour outside some of the worst hit areas, for training workshops and one-on-one consultations. Harrison says the training helps Christian leaders learn how to multiply their efforts."Two hands can only do so much," he explains,"but it's better if there are four hands or a thousand hands, whatever it is, to do things...whether it's spread the Word of Jesus Christ or whether it's helping with the earthquake stuff or with just life in general," he says."This deal is designed for people who want to be leaders, both Christian leaders now and lay leaders now-they're sort of leaders, but they don't know how to teach leadership and how to become better leaders themselves."Harrison's company operates more than 300 Sonic Drive-Ins throughout the country. He states that the same leadership principles he used to expand that business will be applied to the training of these Christian workers. This will mark his fourth trip to Peru with EQUIP, a ministry founded by John Maxwell.
