David Nelson is the president and founder of Crossing Cultures International, a ministry that equips and multiples servant leaders. In 1986, he moved to the Philippines with a vision to start indigenous churches. While studying the gospels and the Filipino culture, he saw that Jesus' method for training the disciples was a viable method of equipping future pastors and church leaders. From those humble beginnings, CCI has grown to over 10,000 pastors and church leaders currently in training in 41 countries. This book explains the principles he has followed since those humble beginnings. He is a graduate of Liberty University and Luther Rice Seminary. He has been married to Mindy since 1983 and they have two adult children and six grandchildren.
