Leadership Journey
May 1-Oct 1

The Paradigm Leadership Journey engages themes regarding the local church and missions. This is critical and required aspect of participating in a Paradigm trip. Its purpose is to build missions knowledge, prepare for the trip, enhance the on-the-ground experience, and strengthen missions leadership. Participants will read short books (7 pp/week = 28 pp/month), hear from guest presenters, and participate in critical discussion and reflection.
