Starting a leadership role in the context of rural mission and ministry can be overwhelming, but gathering with others in similar situations to pray, eat, learn & journey together can really help.

It’s nothing to do with being woke or anti-woke. To pledge to work for the equality of the entire human race regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability or economic status is very simply about being a responsible member of the human race.
