Too often, Christian organizations are known for what they are against. Sometimes, this includes being against one other. Amidst this context of competition, Christ-centered nonprofits have a unique opportunity to link arms and collectively pursue a calling that transcends the agenda of any single organization.

Rooting for Rivals: How Collaboration and Generosity Increase the Impact of Leaders, Charities, and Churches, reveals how ministries and other organizations can multiply their impact by cooperating rather than competing with others, modeling Christlike love and generosity in the process. During his time with us in Madison, co-author, Chris Horst, will share case studies and insights that illustrate the power of collaborative work. Writing with vulnerability, Chris will also share his own failures and successes in moving toward a kingdom mindset.

Join us for this insightful session, where you’ll discover keys to revitalizing your team/organization and making an enduring difference in the world.
