Impact Highlight
Together we can impact lives
Our Approach
Our decades-long commitment to transform communities.
Identify
Our decades of working in deep relationship and communities help us to identify potential future leaders who hold the keys to empowering sustainable change.
AFFIRM
Many of these future Leaders are diamonds in the rough, not fully recognizing the gifts they innately have to make a difference in their community. Calling these strengths to Light is part of our calling.
DEVELOP
Our training programs combine short and long term goals with practical application that prepares Leaders for impact that lasts multiple generations.
TRANSFORMATION
We make an impact for Christ by raising up Leaders in under-served communities through a process of decades-long transformation.
One act of leadership changes lives
