What Others Are Saying

"Hawaii Leadership Practicum 1 Gets 5 Stars"

I highly recommend Pastor Wayne Cordeiro's Hawaii Leadership Practicum. Pastor Wayne personally demonstrated and instilled three values in me: Leading out of humility, the need for building strong relationships (with family and friends, church staff and the congregation), and the necessity of self-discipline (in devotions and exercise). I really appreciated the hospitality of New Hope Staff and Volunteers who prepared and served us amazing food, drove us to every location, and made us feel welcomed and cared for. This is a great gathering for Christian pastors of all denominations who want to learn to lead from the best, and be reminded what it takes to serve Christ for the long-run in our ministry settings. It was wonderful to meet pastors from close to home and from around the world and fellowship and learn together.

Thank you Pastor Wayne and New Hope, can't wait for Practicum 2!

"The Leadership Practicum at New Hope Christian Fellowship is the best leadership development experience I’ve ever attended, which has been many! What makes the practicum so different are the multi-dimensional experiences it offer. Unlike many conferences where you sit and listen to great leadership lessons, at New Hope you get to share the experiences of a great leader! From morning exercise routines to personal spiritual practices, to staff meetings, worship in front and behind-the scenes, baptism service on the beach, and several incredible lectures, Pastor Wayne provides a transformational event for people for whom church leadership is a deep calling. Every pastor who wants to be his or her best deserves this opportunity.”

"It was fresh awaking of my leadership skills that awoke the urgent need to discipline the leaders at hand. The discipleship aspect will be the first step toward honing my leadership base at Denver United Methodist Church. I'm ecstatic over what God is going to through at the Church I serve for Him!"

Rev. Jeff Johnsen


Attending Wayne Cordeiro's highly insightful Practicum for lead ministers is an exceptionally enriching experience. Sorta like looking for gems, and finding only high-carat diamonds - about one every 5 minutes.

“I could have gone home after one day and been satisfied, after 6 days I was blown away by the quality of teaching, the humility of the staff, the heart of the volunteers and the excellence in which New Hope operates. I highly recommend this Practicum as a profound investment for self as well as your church”

This past week has given me a renewed sense of joy, passion and vision for the ministry that God has called me to. I know that as a result of what I observed, learned and felt that my family, my church and my community will be forever changed by the hand of God.

Richest thanks and blessings,
