Testo aggiuntivo
As a leader of a multicultural church in the inner city of Detroit, I find leadership development to be one of the greatest ways to make a real impact in both my church and the community we’re called to serve. Hero Maker will steer church leaders and laity alike into practices that make our lives greater than what they could ever be in the silos we often unintentionally create.
