"On behalf of the GLS in Myanmar, we just want to say thank you for all your giving and contributions to this wonderful country. Leadership is so vital in this country. The GLS has brought so much transformation. So we want to thank you for giving. We hope you continue to give and to contribute. We know there are a lot of things God has in store for Myanmar, and we hope to see this coming into play. Thank you for all you have given and continue to give."

"In Liberia and Sierra Leone, you may have heard about what happened with the Ebola crisis, but because of the GLS, and because leaders are getting better, things are changing. So thank you. We are very grateful, and we appreciate you. We pray that the Lord will continue to bless you for all you are doing for the Global Leadership Network and the GLS. Your support will never be in vain. Thank you so, so much, and God bless you."

"I want to thank you very much for your donation and support for the GLS in Egypt. Last year we had a great Summit. For the first time, 150 people attended from outside the church. We had both Muslims and Christians there together. This is historical in our city. Newspapers wrote about it, and national television came to cover the Summit as well. We believe that next year, because of your support, we can have even more impact in our community. Thank you so much."

The Global Leadership Summit in Prison

Global Leadership Network first began hosting the Summit in prisons across the U.S. in 2014. We partnered with Prison Fellowship because together, we believe that everyone has influence. What started as a partnership with 11 sites in 2015, has grown to over 200 in 2022. Hosting the Summit in prisons has become a unique way to reshape prison culture and has guided incarcerated men and women in how to develop and invest in their leadership development skills to make a positive difference in their community.
