EFICOR envisions God’s people in our nation to constantly raise a prophetic voice like Nehemiah. People, who would be well informed on social issues, reflect from a Christian perspective and express their concern at various forums such as writing in newspapers, talking to groups etc. They would also commit themselves to pray for their situation, be actively involved in addressing some issue and influence or motivate churches to be involved as well. These are the Training Providers (TPs) trained by EFICOR in different phases on diverse issues.
A substantial number of persons who have been trained and became TPs in the past years have responded to the needs of poor and marginalized as an outworking of their faith. They have conducted workshops motivating Churches, organizations and individuals, to be involved in addressing the need of the poor and marginalized.
EFICOR is looking for TPs in every district in India. Training Providers are usually Pastors or staff in any organization. EFICOR equips them with skills required to conduct workshops and train them in addressing various social issues. The TPs are expected to conduct workshops for pastors and church leaders to create social awareness in their respective region.
