This program is dedicated to training new pastors, ministers and Christian leaders around the world. We will teach them how to build apprentices, plant churches, and be effective leaders in respect to Biblical topics and Christian principles. In 2023, Taking New Ground pursued its vision of "Catalyzing Movements of Multiplying Churches" around the world through training events, online coaching, developing regional teams, and setting up networks of churches that collaborate toward greater multiplication. In 2023, Taking New Ground led Catalytic gatherings on the ground in Pakistan, Nepal, Southern Brazil, El Salvador, Slovenia and Croatia. Wherever we work around the world we seek to develop a regional team that can reproduce the Catalyst System on their own. In 2023 these regional teams led Catalyst Community training events on their own in Pakistan, India and the Philippines. Our Brazilian team also began gathering pastors in Uruguay together for training and establishing a vision for church planting in Uruguay. They are hoping to lead their first Catalyst Community training event there in 2024.In addition to in-country training, the Global Catalyst team continues to maintain our relational connections with leaders in Belarus, Russia, Laos, Philippines, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, Uganda, India, England, France, and Cambodia through Zoom calls, ongoing coaching, problem solving, and planning for the future. By investing in the movement leaders in these countries we are able to shape the leaders in that nation through the network structure we established providing ongoing span of care, as those movement leaders then invest in their network leaders.In 2023 Taking New Ground also began preparing for new work in Bhutan and Bangladesh, which we anticipate happening in 2024 through the efforts of our regional team in northern India. We are also looking at the possibility of returning to Albania to work with the next generation of church planters who have not yet experienced Catalyst Community. Looking ahead to 2024 most of our efforts will be concentrated in two strategic parts of the world: 1) the Balkans, and 2) South Asia. 0 156576 156576 Matthew Watson President 40.00 100000 7452 0 Joe Wilson Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Colin Denlea Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 GA Jennifer Lonero - JL Bookkeeping LLC 11225 Estia Drive 33 Bradenton FL 34211 6788079641 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 101167 136625 126268 159054 172009 695123 101167 136625 126268 159054 172009 695123 204446 490677 12 306 318 695441 0.70560 0.73890 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 - Other Expenses Description: Bank fees, paypal fees, Google fees.
