To be effective leaders, we must understand both our immediate and our wider context. Understanding our immediate context will help us shape our ministries and development in ways that will lead to maximum effectiveness. Understanding our wider context helps us see how we can both serve and benefit from being part of a wider European network. Each setting in Europe has similarities and differences with our own. This session will help us understand the context and what personal and corporate strategies we need to operate effectively. It will include interactive polls and prayer times to apply the truths we hear to our own country contexts.
