Fred Burckbuchler
Nature’s Earth Products, Inc., VP of Finance
Jupiter, FL
Training in: Vladivostok, Russia
“I am taking this trip to Vladivostok, Russia because it has been God’s calling on my life for over 25 years to help start a seminary for the pastors of this region of the world. These pastors have truly carried the cross in the midst of the ravages of Communism, but they have never been trained in theology or leadership. I've heard that they are ravenous for theological and leadership training. But, because of language and cultural barriers, it's never been my intention to be the primary professor of such a seminary. This MLM effort in Russia will allow me to meet some of the key leaders of the region. My role will be one of support and organizational leadership to help them grow. I believe that the calling I’ve carried for these years will, by God’s grace, find fulfillment starting with the participants in Vladivostok.”

Karl Eastlack
Senior Pastor of Eastern Hills Wesleyan Church
Williamsville, NY
Training in: Krasnoyarsk, Russia
“In my opinion, the series of conferences MLM will be doing in Krasnoyarsk came at just the right moment (isn’t God good?!). There is a great void of healthy leadership across Russia, and this movement will help to create a larger influence as each attendee trains an additional 25 leaders (400 x 25 = 10,000 leaders). I represent hundreds at our conference who are thanking God for the vision He gave to John Maxwell a few years ago. It is truly a God-thing, and a beautiful thing to behold and to be a part of.”

“The thought of taking God’s message to a country that 20 years ago had limited access to God’s Word is exciting. I know that the development of more Godly leaders will expedite the spread of God’s gospel and I am thrilled and honored to be a part of this effort.”
