VLI Application - Benelux
  1. Welcome to the VLI Benelux Application page.

    VLI leadership training within the Benelux combines practical ministry development with personal spiritual formation and sound biblical-theological training. VLI offers the latter to all students participating in a mentoring group, who sense that God is calling them to full- or part-time ministry, either as church planters or as part of a staff team.

    Filling in the details below is the first step in gaining access to the many courses that are on offer and will also connect you with VLI students around the Benelux. I wish you every success in your studies and trust that you will be excited and inspired as you learn more about God in the company of others.
