NEW 2021

In doing ministry, many of us may be taught well on how to accomplish the mission. But how many of us focus first on our character, on being the right kind of Christian who goes on the mission?

My father, Norm Geisler, had such a great impact on Christianity... but not just because of what he taught. It was also because of how he lived

Pastor Edmund Chan, founder of the Global Alliance for Intentional Discipleship-Making Churches, has mentored me for many years now. He has helped me understand in a deeper way that, "the mandate is more important than the mission." In other words, the mandate to be a certain kind of Christ-first disciple is more important to God than how many people we disciple, or even how many we win to Christ.

This coaching builds on the book A Certain Kind by Edmund Chan.

This workshop will take you through a paradigm shift in the way you approach Christian leadership. Join a small group of leaders to wrestle through deeper concepts of how to live a certain kind of life. Together, we will put into practice those key principles that will allow God to make His desired impact through each of our lives as leaders.  

Wherever you are around the globe, this training will equip you to effectively lead the change in your culture for Christ.

President and Co-Founder, NGIM

Dr. David Geisler

Building on what his father taught him, David has developed new paradigms of integrating and applying apologetics with evangelism. Together with his late father, Dr. Norman Geisler, David co-authored the book “Conversational Evangelism,” which has since been translated into six languages. David is currently pioneering a 4 R’s model (Rooted, Rested, Ready, Reaching) that integrates apologetics, evangelism, and discipleship. David speaks internationally, offering seminars, training and certificate programs in both his father’s 12 Points and his Conversational Evangelism models. He encourages Christians to reframe apologetics from a 1 Peter 3:15 model, “be ready to give a defense”, to a Matthew 13:23 model, “cultivating good soil.” Using discipleship principles, David motivates the body of Christ to use apologetic tools in sharing the faith in culturally, personally, and spiritually sensitive ways.  Serving as a missionary in Asia from 2004-2011, David trained over 300 bible and seminary students in practical apologetics, many who are now pastors and missionaries all over Asia. He holds a Master in Biblical Studies and a Master in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministries in Apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. He helped develop a national pilot program for skeptical students with Campus Crusade for Christ (now called CRU) from 1994-1999. He teaches in various seminaries around the globe and as an adjunct professor at both of the seminaries his father founded: Southern Evangelical Seminary and Veritas International University. He also serves on the leadership panel for Intentional Discipleship Making Conferences (IDMC), founded by Rev. Edmund Chan.
