Equipping Leaders International
Don Mountan, Executive Director Emeritus
ELI seeks to glorify God and grow His Kingdom by developing strategic Christian leaders in developing world nations in order for them, in turn, to train others. The goal is that, through this leveraged approach, more and more people will be served and transformed by the gospel in some of the most remote places on earth.
