ARE YOUR REACHING FOR THE STARS?
The primary goal of the Dream Of Destiny 5 Star Initiative is to encourage, connect, and collaborate with churches, Bible Colleges, and para-church ministries (i.e. church plant organizations) to accomplish two things:
- To raise up, mentor and position more pastors and ministry leaders in our local churches, and ministries to better reflect the diverse landscape of believers worldwide.
- To foster more diversity within the local churches, Bible Colleges, and para-church ministries (by being more intentional in how we connect our networks, collaborate with one another, and grow our organizations and ministries).
This initiative is created to offer 5 clear and common actions that have been identified in ministries that have been able to organically foster diversity within their leadership and throughout the body of believers they serve.
