WORKSHOP

Missions 3.0: A Framework for Missions in the 21st Century This workshop identifies key stakeholders, core practices, underlying principles and an ongoing process to move missions beyond simple charity and short-term fixes.  It’s a way to understand and organize the realities of charitable work in the 21st Century that helps you translate good intentions into specific actions.  The Mission 3.0 Framework accelerates the learning curve and pace of change within an organization because it provides a common language and a unifying framework upon which a church or even a whole community can build a shared vision.
