Without question this is the most unchartered era I’ve ever led through in my three decades of ministry. I suspect the same is true for you, too. Now, more than ever, our communities need the life transformative message of Jesus Christ that only the local church can bring!

That’s why I’m inviting you to The Global Leadership Summit 2009. This high-octane, annual, two-day gathering of more than 100,000 is exclusively focused on helping leaders get better for the sake of the Kingdom and the local church.

By God’s grace, the Summit is becoming a year-round global movement of thousands of Christians. Consider increasing your team size by inviting emerging leaders, board members, elders, and business leaders in your community. Together, we’ll address today’s critical leadership issues confronting us.
