Freedom to Lead

Description

Seventy percent of the world’s people – more than four billion of us – are story-centric learners. (UNESCO and International Mission Board).

A small percentage of these are non-literate. They have to rely on the spoken word because they cannot use print. They may listen to the radio or watch television, but they are going to need the Good News through stories, proverbs, music and dance if they are going to understand it.

A much larger percentage can read and write, but they prefer swapping stories, singing with friends, going to the movies, and talking about their experiences. These people are story-centric communicators because of their cultural tradition or their personal preference.

Freedom to Lead is all about developing Christ-centered leaders among these story-centric learners wherever they are: rural pastors in India, ministry leaders in Hong Kong, and mission executives in New York City.
