People will lead. How they lead makes all the difference. DAI equips the servant leader in each of us. The world needs strong Christian leaders.

In our broken world, God plants local Christian leaders to bring the lasting hope of the gospel to their communities. These leaders face enormous challenges — like corruption, disease, persecution, poverty, war — and most find themselves ill-equipped to respond. Development Associates International (DAI) equips these leaders to respond by creating, using and distributing interactive educational tools that grow leaders' personal integrity, spiritual life, leadership effectiveness and management skills.

Pastor Rayappan, graduate of DAI's nonformal Servant Leadership course, longed to bring the gospel to a neighboring village. However, the people there repeatedly rejected him.

When Cyclone Ditwah struck Sri Lanka last fall, the village was devastated and left inaccessible by the flooding. However, Rayappan and his team of local pastors trekked in through the wreckage, bringing hot meals and practical aid to the hungry villagers, who hadn't eaten for several days.

The village then understood that these Christians were coming to help out of genuine love and care, not to force them to come to church. Having experienced the gospel in action, they were more open to hearing about it.

Today, Rayappan continues to build relationships upon this foundation of trust, and four or five families from the village have begun to attend his church.

In the past few months, the gifts of many of you have enabled local servant leaders — DAI staff, alumni, and close partners — to provide life-saving food and other essentials to those devastated by natural disasters around the world.

Thank you so much for your open, generous hearts! With your support, we have been able to:

- Provide jackets, backpacks, and school supplies to 74 Nepali children who lost one or both parents to the flash flood

- Distribute essential food supplies, gas cylinders, and more to nearly 1,000 Nepali families displaced or affected by the flash flood

- Give cash distributions to 22 Colombian families to help repair their homes from the August 10 earthquake

- Offer emergency food, drinking water, medicine, and more to 340+ families devastated by flooding in Myanmar

Thank you for partnering with servant leaders when and where they're most needed!

Flashback to July, when 87 leaders met in Abuja, Nigeria, for their next DAI master's residency.

29 of those men and women were there for the very first time, and began their MAOL (Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership) journey with a matriculation ceremony.

Though these leaders represent a wide array of fields, backgrounds, and experiences, all of them are united by a common desire to develop their leadership. We pray that God will meet them during their studies over the next three years, helping them grow in skill, wisdom, and servant-heartedness.

For the second year in a row, the Union of Native Evangelical Leaders of the Peruvian Amazon has invited DAI Peru to present on servant leadership during its annual youth leadership camp.

This is a tremendous opportunity to invest in the next generation of Peru's indigenous leaders, and we are grateful to be able to contribute to these young people's formation! Now and in the future, may they serve their communities with skillful hands and servant hearts.

DAI Bangladesh has just launched a Leadership Forum, a space where young people gather weekly to grow spiritually, learn and practice leadership skills, and develop community with like-minded peers.

The DAI Bangladesh team explains,

"Long-term transformation needs ongoing practice, encouragement, and accountability. While training programs are very helpful, an ongoing forum can help young people keep practicing leadership in a consistent way and gradually experience deeper transformation.

We hope this forum can grow into a leadership movement where young people develop servant leadership and make a lasting impact in churches, organizations, and society."

DAI Haiti continues to serve local leaders in the thick of their country's struggles with violent gang conflict.

In the aftermath of the recent Kenscoff massacre, in which gangs brutally killed 47 and kidnapped over 50 others, DAI Haiti quickly organized a three-day Trauma Healing course for impacted pastors.

Though nothing can completely take away the horror of what they've experienced, being able to process their trauma in community—guided by wise and experienced facilitators—has allowed these leaders to begin the journey toward healing and wholeness. And, it is equipping them to guide those they serve along the same path.

Please continue to pray that God would restore peace and stability to Haiti.

The success of a teacher is measured not in how well they teach, but in how well their students learn.

And since part of the job of any leader is to help others learn, grow, and develop, one of DAI's core classes is Teaching and Learning for Impact.

Effective adult education is interactive, engaging, and inspires others to pass on what they've learned.

Pictured here is a Teaching and Learning for Impact course facilitated in Egypt this summer by DAI Middle East and North Africa Regional Director Ehab Tharwat.
