Global Leadership Summit Pilot Program in Cayes

For the past few years the Willow Creek Leadership Summit has been broadcast in Port au Prince in the fall. Many of the RMI Staff and some of the RMI Haitian Sister Church Pastors have had the opportunity to attend. Most recently the program was broadcast in November of last year and then just last week we had the privilege to host the first of hopefully annual follow up seminars which have been designed to provide an opportunity for our Sister Church Pastors to debrief and discuss topics they hear at the seminar and to provide a chance to break down the content into a culturally relevant context, giving them the opportunity to apply what they learned in the culture and communities in which they minister. RMI President Dan Shoemaker and Director of the Strategic Leadership Network for Vision New England Jack Richardson visited Cayes, Haiti last week and facilitated two days of meetings in which Pastors and RMI Staff who attended last years seminar sat and revisited some of the video content and then participated in group and round table discussions. Between twenty-five and thirty pastors attended each of the two days and a lot of great discussion was had, ideas were shared and Pastors left inspired and encouraged.

We are also looking forward to having the Leadership Summit broadcast here in Cayes (headquarters for RMI in Haiti) in December!
