Appendix 3: World Impact Urban Leadership Retreats Our mission is to empower urban leaders and partner with local churches to reach their cities with the gospel by offering retreats that equip women and men to be leaders in their homes, churches and communities. Our values: • Empowerment : We are passionate about empowering men and women to discover, develop, and demonstrate their calling to ministry within the body of Christ and beyond (Acts 1.8). • Community : We believe Christians are called to community. In community we build each other up recognizing individual God-given gifts and talents and joining together to expand the Kingdom (Hebrews 10.24-25). • Church-Centered : We emphasize the one Church that Jesus built consists of all believers globally who gather in neighborhoods as local expressions of that church (Matthew 16.19 | Acts 2.44-47). • Multiplication : We desire to empower leaders and churches to conduct retreats in their communities by resourcing through training materials and modeling (2 Timothy 2.2). Our culture: In all we say and do, we desire to glorify Christ and make Him known. We seek to create a loving and caring environment that welcomes individuals from all backgrounds and ethnic groups. We desire that individuals who attend our retreats experience a sense of belonging to a larger community.
