ABOUT
What is SGL?
SGL-Trinidad is a Missions Training School which trains people to have God's heart for the world and God's heart for people. SGL provides a cross-cultural, hands-on, learning and living environment that helps students move toward leadership roles around the world.
SGL hosts short-term missions teams. These teams get experience with hands on ministry as well as an understanding of basic missions principles. Missions trips are about sharing the love of Jesus and serving people who do not know Him or need a better understanding of Him.
The School of Global Leadership-Trinidad is a ministry of Global Missions of Open Bible Churches.

Everyone is searching for significance! Everyone wants to make a difference! God has already placed inside of you great purpose and destiny. Think about it, the creator of the universe has purpose and destiny for you. The Bible says that God can do more than you could ever ask or imagine. What if He could do anything He wanted through you? What would it look like? Where would He take you? What would you do? It has been said,
"Expect great things from God, Attempt great things for God." William Carey
It is time to step out of the status quo and let God do something great through you! If you always do what you've always done, you'll always be what you've always been. We challenge you to come with us! Let us help you take your passion for the world to the world. We are here to help you fulfill your dreams and passions that God has given you. There is a big job to do. There are people who have never heard about Jesus and God's love for them.

Staff
Brent Kelderman is the grandson of former missionaries Melvyn and Barbara Kelderman, who served in Trinidad in previous years and founded Open Bible High School in San Fernando, Trinidad. Brent and Sara have been active and involved in ministry and missions for over a decade and are excited for this next step that God is calling them into!
Brent and Sara are excited to come alongside and assist missionaries Mike and Pam Lumbard in the work of the School of Global Leadership (SGL) in Trinidad. SGL's ministry will expand in the future to include possible other sites in Europe, Asia and Africa where there will be more opportunities abroad for young people who want to experience missions in different cultures and languages.
Brent and Sara will help make this new expansion possible and assist with missions teams coming to Trinidad and beyond to experience the missions firsthand and will also help with the academic side of SGL.
