1: The Apostolic Pathway Initiative
Equipping Churches to Walk in Mission, Power, and Purpose
The Apostolic Pathway Initiative is FCI Mission Africa’s leadership development program designed to equip churches and faith leaders to embrace their apostolic calling—being sent, empowered, and rooted in purpose. This initiative mobilizes clergy, lay leaders, and congregations to lead transformative mission efforts in their communities, guided by the Spirit and grounded in Scripture.
By strengthening the spiritual, leadership, and missional capacity of faith leaders, the program enables them to engage more effectively in FCI’s adolescent-focused work. Apostolic leaders are positioned not only to preach and serve, but to advocate, mentor, and mobilize support systems for adolescents in distress—bringing healing, dignity, and hope to the next generation.
