Because we work around the world we have tons of partners—you have, too. One of the big lessons for the American church yet to learn is that no one church, network, denomination, person, organization has the whole picture and can get it all done. God has raised up people all across society and the church so that when we come together we can make massive differences. Outside of NorthWood and Glocal.net there are only two groups that I serve on the board or give a lot of time to. With both of those boards, I do so because we’re headed in the same direction and we can accomplish a lot more together than separate. One of those groups is the Institute for Global Engagement  that Chis Seiple heads up. I encourage you to go to their website and check them out. Chris is a “get er done” kind of guys. It isn’t a think tank that merely does white papers, but one that literally produces results. I’ve partnered with them up close in Vietnam and met others they’ve worked with around the world. Their focus and best known result is engaging governments at high levels to deal with issues of religious freedom. Many people talk about religious freedom and have “watcdog” groups. What I like about IGE is that they do something about it—they’re engaging governments and communities. HOWEVER, they do more than that. They are fast becoming a place for a new global conversation where people can connect, talk, and engage a new emerging world. Check ‘em out! Get involved!
