In September of 2013, Haggai Institute
convened a session of married couples.
These 32 top-level couples from 17
countries pioneered a unique training
experience – learning side by side with
the goal of reinforcing each other’s
commitment to Kingdom expansion
in future years. Eighty percent of the
participants were in marketplace
professions. The average age for
husbands was 49 and for wives, 45.

According to Director
of Training Raffy
Mendoza, “A spouse
can serve as an
accountability partner,
reminding the other
of the commitments
made during the
training. Many
couples expressed the
benefit of having a
common experience
of the urgent need to
evangelize.”
