Coaching, Training and Letting them Go. Problem with that?

I have been encouraged and challenged with those in ministry and church planting efforts that train, coach and release new believers to do the work of ministry. I believe that with the power of the Spirit, some basic skills, and the word of God with a vision to fulfill the Great Commission and Great Commandment true revival and transformation will take place.

Ralph Winter makes a strong statement that is giving some support to this idea:
"The most extensive, pervasive strategic error in the Christian tradition lies squarely in our coveted and generously supported, but unquestioned, concept of years of "schooling" as the way for leaders to develop and be trained....In this country and abroad, every church movement which has come to depend solely upon residential school products for its ministry is dying."

This requires some thought and evaluation of our training, teaching, discipleship and maturing time. How can we train, coach and send out believers in the mission without overly emphasizing education and knowledge?
