View from the shared ‘top’: A case study in leading as a team

World Evangelical Alliance Mission Commission (Polycentrism): Our Missions Future.

Originally posted from: https://weamc.global/gc23registration/  In 2019 we decided on the theme of “Our Missions Future” not knowing what 2020 was going to bring.
