The name AFMIN served us well these past years while we were only focused on Pastoral Leadership training in Africa However pilot projects in other parts of the world Europe proved the name problematic as AFMIN Africa Ministries Network is so strongly associated with training only in Africa The Ministry part in Africa Ministries Network also make us sound like we are a church which we are not and consequently it is hard for professional organizations like Universities to partner with us We are a nonprofit Leadership Development organization While nothing has changed about our primary vision namely Training Leaders Transforming Nations the new name EMIT is professional and strengthens us in expanding our Leadership Development vision to all segments of society and eventually other continents too MIT provides wholistic development of influential leaders to increase leadership effectiveness to transform every segment of society
