World Vision

World Vision exists to build a better world for children. With the help of our donors, sponsors, and supporters, we resolutely and systematically address a wide range of social, environmental, cultural, and political issues — with the goal of helping to free children everywhere from poverty.

As a Christian organization, we know our success depends on our humble obedience to God, who has called us to this work. Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, we serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

Our ministry provides hope and assistance to about 100 million people in nearly 100 countries. In communities around the world, we join with local people to find lasting ways to improve the lives of poor children and families.

Leadership Network

Since 1984, Leadership Network has fostered church innovation and growth through strategies, programs, tools and resources that are consistent with our far-reaching mission: to identify, connect and help high-capacity Christian leaders multiply their impact.

While specific techniques have evolved over time, our focus and commitment have never wavered. As a result, Leadership Network has become a trusted resource for the leadership teams of innovative churches across the United States and Canada.

Of the estimated 350,000 churches in North America, only a relatively small number play a significant role in introducing innovations to the Church at large. Leadership Network’s “DNA” is to work directly with those few pioneers who are testing and implementing the new ideas that will drive the Church in the future.

The investment in high capacity innovators is central to our strategy of diffusing the best information and ideas throughout the Church. Many churches that participate in our Leadership Communities become teachers themselves, taking what they have learned to a broader and larger audience. Our own book publishing initiatives, e-newsletters, concept papers and events spread these best practices even further. As innovation spreads, the Church better fulfills its mission to serve, to love and to expand the Kingdom of God.

Leadership Network will continue to identify, explore and develop new areas of innovation and share the results with others.
