International Grace Pastors’ Network serves to connect pastors around the globe for relationship, training, and resourcing.
Brief History
How it started …
IGPN serves to connect pastors around the globe for relationship, training, and local resourcing.
It was founded out of a single relationship between two American entrepreneurial pastors and an Indian pastor. They had built some relationship via Facebook over the course of a year or so when the Indian pastor asked a question:
“If I were to gather some of my pastor friends who have no formal training at my church, would you meet with us via zoom?”
That initial meeting took place with about 25 pastors in Andrah Pradesh, India in 2015.
Recently …
These last three years have been invested in building a stronger infrastructure of relationships and processes. By 2025, IGPN was established in 7 nations and gathering with over 2000 pastors each month.
Today …
By God’s grace, the number of pastors and leaders registered for monthly in-person training through IGPN in 2026 exceeds 20,000 in 9 nations.

139 Model
The 139 model employs a paradigm observed among Jesus and his disciples. Jesus pulled three disciples a little closer to him in quite significant moments and also related to the 12 as a whole. In this paradigm, Jesus is the “one.” Peter, James, and John are the “three.” The rest of the disciples are the “nine.” Adapting that relational model into a network looks like this:
As part of the network, I commit to the following:
1) I commit to praying for my “3” daily.
2) I commit to calling or texting my “3” weekly.
3) I commit to pray for my “9” regularly and connect with them monthly (this group of 9 is made up of my “3” and each one of their “3”).
As this model functions, a pastor/leader will have one person praying for them daily and reaching out weekly, and another pastor/leader praying for them regularly and reaching out monthly.
Values:
1. 5-Fold Ministry – We espouse the teaching of Ephesians 4 in regard to the gifts Christ gave to the church and believe those gifts are to be working in unity to lead local assemblies.
2. Ministry of every Believer – We further espouse the teaching of Ephesians 4 that every member of the body is a minister and has gifting to strengthen the body as each part does its work.
3. Kingdom – We serve pastors and leaders across denominational, socioeconomic, and racial divisions.
4. Honor – We honor everyone and work to show no favoritism.
