Effective ministerial leadership requires more than outstanding preaching or excellent biblical exegesis. Pastors need to be aware of and manage their own emotions as well as possess relationship management skills. However, most pastors lack the training needed for developing emotionally intelligent leadership skills. These deficits can result in unresolved stress and blind spots that can easily provoke negative responses and actions in ministry. In addition, a lack of sensitivity to the emotions of others can also damage the ecclesiastical unity of the body of Christ. A lack of emotional intelligence contributed to the development of long-standing divisions in the Hong Kong Assemblies of God. Since the 1990s, church leaders have lacked unity and healthy support systems. To address these problems, a restructuring process for the Fellowship began in 2014, with the goal of having a new network in place by 2021. To successfully build this new network, however, ministers needed training in developing emotional intelligence. This project provided a two-day workshop to train Assemblies of God Hong Kong Network's ministers to develop emotionally intelligent leadership skills. The workshop offered participants fundamental instruction in the principles of emotional intelligence. They also learned specific strategies for implementing EQ principles into their own ministry context, which will assist them in becoming more emotionally intelligent leaders who can foster emotionally intelligent ministry environments.
