Dr. John C Maxwell, best-selling author and speaker, is one of this generation’s most respected experts on leadership.

During a missions related trip in the mid 1990′s John was encouraged by an international Christian leader to take the best of his leadership materials (that he’d been teaching for years in North America) and format it to fit a global audience. From that challenge and the affirmation of others, John launched EQUIP as a non-profit global mission ministry, in 1996.

John’s vision for EQUIP is that it be continually committed to developing leaders whose potential is great but opportunities for learning leadership have been limited. He is absolutely convinced that if Christian leaders around the world are trained, resourced, and encouraged, there is no limit to what can be accomplished in fulfilling the Great Commission!
