I also write about leadership outside of our organizations, which I call Community Leadership. I am very interested in&nbsp;applying Christian faith&nbsp;to&nbsp;leadership practices and how&nbsp;being part of a&nbsp;community of faith affects the way we lead Christian ministries. (You can read about my journey to Christian faith <a href=\"\/news_blogs\/about\/my-journey-to-christ\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of my work responsibility&nbsp;is to develop material to help ministries with leadership and governance issues. So, I&#8217;ll test ideas out here and get your reactions. I&#8217;ll share what I am learning here as well. I&nbsp; hope that together we will grow to become great Christian leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How often should you look for new posts from me?&nbsp;Generally I write one post a week, and usually post it Monday mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now about me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I joined\u00a0the <a title=\"CCCC Website\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canadian Centre for Christian Charities<\/a> in September 2003 and became\u00a0Chief Executive Officer a few weeks later. CCCC is\u00a0an association of more than 3,000 Christian ministries that\u00a0provides assistance for\u00a0their support and leadership functions including\u00a0advice, training, and services such as group benefits and pension plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a title=\"PAOC Website\" href=\"https:\/\/paoc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pentecostal&nbsp;Assemblies of Canada <\/a>ordained me into Christian ministry in 2007.
