Our long term goal is to help Christian leaders become more effective in guiding their organizations, so that their mission organizations can be more effective in evangelism, planting churches and integral mission engagement. We also desire for leaders to be transformed internally by demonstrating authentic Christian character that brings light to a dark world. We will spend a year with each participant through the cohort learning model and individual coaching. This kind of networking and partnering relationship equips each participant to shape their mission, vision, and strategy into an implementable plan.
