What is Equip?
Equip is the training arm of Accessible Hope International. Over years of experience working in the developing world, we saw a need for a training curriculum designed to better incorporate people with disabilities into the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and invite them into the Body of Christ. We walk alongside churches, ministries, and groups who work in the developing world and want to better prepare their leaders to embrace Jesus’ approach to disability and learn how to incorporate people with disabilities into their communities and churches.
How can my ministry be trained by Equip?
The first step in receiving training is to help us get to know YOUR ministry better. We invite you to fill out an International Partnership Inquiry form. This provides you with information related to our ministry and our partnership practices and provides us with information about your ministry context. We also encourage you to participate in upcoming virtual workshops and utilize our available resources.
A Request Form for a Training of Trainers (TOT) for the Theology of Disability (ToD) workshop is available using the button below.
This request form outlines the responsibilities for hosting a Training of Trainers workshop in your ministry context.
If you have further questions, please email Accessible Hope at equip@ahint.org.
Who is Equip?
Equip is made up of a team of Training Ambassadors and AHI staff. AHI offers various workshops for ministries and church leaders. Virtual Theology of Disability (ToD) workshops and introductory Made in God’s Image (MiGI) workshops are offered twice annually. Multiple ministries in one global location can collaborate to host a Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop of the Theology of Disability (ToD). All of our workshops equip local ministry leaders for greater disability outreach in their community and context.
