Fall 23 President’s Weekend Recap
"There's something powerful that happens in the life of a person who follows Jesus, when they actually begin to intentionally see the world, see people, see communities, through the eyes of Jesus.”
- Scott Olson
For those of us who are looking to create real impact in our world - finding others who share our passion to be part of bigger solutions is essential.
This past fall, One Collective hosted a weekend event we call The President’s Weekend. Together - we explored work happening in communities around the world today, and discussed topics like sustainable change, leveraging assets for strategic impact, and the journey each of us is on with Jesus.
Events like the President’s Weekend are designed to connect you with others who are passionate about what Jesus is doing in our world - and invite you into a relationship where you can be part of creating change that lasts.
Roundtable Discussion:
How can everyday people create global impact?
The role of Catalyst and the unique strategy One Collective is using around the world
How people can join global work - using their skills, experiences, and assets to create change
How generosity can multiply when combined with strategic work and what Jesus is doing
