Kaleo Urban Ministry

Our desire is to equip young leaders for holistic ministry to Boston and beyond…

We try to challenge and encourage emerging church leaders through experience-oriented education and discipleship. There are three ways for college students/young adults to get involved.

One week mission trip – Join us for a week by taking on a specific service project while developing relationships with people in the community.  

Summer Internship – Eight to Ten weeks living in community, studying, serving, learning. Download an application. (Requires Adobe Acrobat reader).

Year long experience – Commit to serving and living incarnationally for a year in Dorchester working alongside Kaleo Ministries

Kaleo Urban Ministry allows the gifts of the individual to help determine where they will be involved in the ministry. Where they are passionate and come alive!

 

With Kaleo, its not just about service, it’s also about growing in your walk with Christ individually, along with the community. We will walk out our faith by practicing different spiritual disciplines such as, study, worship, fellowship, prayer, simplicity etc.

Intentional Christian community is a strong value of Kaleo, therefore the students will live in community with one another in close proximity to poor communities with whom they work.

The internships require students to develop a support network (financially and spiritually with prayer). If desired Kaleo can help students with the fundraising process by providing letterhead, tax-deductible contributions, teaching to congregations, etc…

Kaleo Congregations

Kaleo has a vision to inspire and challenge congregations to respond to the poor in their community and in the world. We seek to develop local church leadership with the knowledge and skills to teach about ministries among the poor and initiate their own ministries among those in need.

Kaleo develops partnerships with local churches and gives the congregations opportunities to come and serve in the inner city. In turn, the Kaleo staff is willing to come to these local churches once or twice a year to teach and challenge the congregations to be a part of God’s global mission in and around their own communities. We are by no means experts, but we would like to encourage the church in America to be more effectively engaged in its mission to the lost and to the poor. Some of the topics we teach include:

Church Planting Movements
Economic Development
God’s Heart for the Poor
Evangelism and Social Action
Developing Partnerships
God’s Global Mission
Incarnational Approach to Ministry

If you or your church is interested in working with Kaleo Congregations please contact us: aaronamy@kaleoministries.org

 

 

Indigenous Pastor Training

Kaleo desires to encouraging and equip pastors to begin church planting movements in the 2/3’s world. We would like to provide practical tools to graduating seminary students transitioning to plant churches among their people.

Kaleo is in the process of partnering with an organization in Liberia to identify emerging church leaders. We will provide these pastors with professional training in emotional health, leadership, and Microfinance. Training in emotional health focuses on the pastor and their own spiritual formation. Next, training in leadership focuses on the pastor’s actual ministry in their church and community. And finally, Microfinance training focuses on providing economic opportunities for pastor’s families as detailed in the Empowering Pastor’s Wife (EPW) project.
