200+ Leaders Gather at the GLS Despite Risk to Their Lives

Amidst great pressure and tension on the borders of countries at war in the Middle East, The Global Leadership Summit event gathered more than 200 leaders in an undisclosed location in mid-July 2019.

“We could never have imagined leaders would be willing to risk their lives to attend GLS,” said the local pastors hosting the GLS in this location. “When asked why they take this risk to attend, despite tension, dangers and threats, they answered us with:

‘What if the situation gets worse? Then we might never get another chance to attend!

The GLS is the only event of its kind in history of Christian ministry here.

The GLS is the only event of its kind in history of Christian ministry here. We learn how to be effective leaders. Our churches and businesses can only prosper if we keep learning. And learning in an environment like the GLS is encouraging and motivating. Young leaders are also trained and are growing up to be salt and light in their schools and workplaces, which will impact the future of our nation.

Anointed worship, awesome prayer times and God moments bring us together in unity and take away fear. The GLS builds up value to grow in faith and helps us make a difference in our area of the world.
