The Global Institute of Leadership (GIL) builds organizational health and effectiveness among over 160 National Evangelical Alliances who are members of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA). This is accomplished by training, coaching, peer-learning, resourcing and equipping. The GIL focuses much of its work by equipping the nine regional alliances to create their own regional institutes of leadership to serve the national alliances in their region with contextualized resources. The end goal is for each national alliance to provide resources for their members to speak the good news of Christ and display the good works of Christ on the frontlines of their spheres of influence.

Since 2019, the GIL has worked alongside 90 National Evangelical Alliances and 7 Regional Evangelical Alliances with webinars, courses, coaching, and resourcing.

A National Evangelical Alliance (NEA) is an expression of the Christian unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17. While each Alliance is unique as it enables the Church to advance the Good News of Jesus Christ, there are common measurable qualities that demonstrate an Alliance’s health and effectiveness. These qualities include both the organizational and functional indicators and are described in the Seven Development Indicators of a National Evangelical Alliance.
