Their Emergence and Growth

by Lisa Marie Anderson-Umana

Overview

Are you finding it hard to develop new leaders for the congregations, ministries, and organizations you serve? If you're someone who thinks that leaders can be formed through training courses, you're in a for a surprise! Listen to the voices of a selected group of Latin American leaders share how they emerged and grew. Learn from their stories.

Description

Living in Latin America as a foreigner means you have experienced awkward moments and bewildering misunderstandings. All leaders are influenced by their culture. Informed by personal experience and doctoral research, Anderson shares stories of Latin American Christian leaders, identifies the cultural values that shaped them and teaches when to yield to cultural values and when to take corrective actions. Your understanding of leadership and your cross-cultural awareness and appreciation will expand together. Anderson suggests four specific ways you can co-participate with God to help leaders emerge and grow: • Accompany them • Open up spaces for them to serve • Create developmental experiences • Promote self-leadership from the start of their journey Personal and team reflection exercises will guide you on your leadership journey and help you to make concrete action plans.

About the author

Lisa Anderson-Umaña, Ph.D. is the Director of Leadership Development for Christian Camping International, Latin America. She has served as a missionary for 40 years, living and travelling across Mexico, Central and South America. She "married the culture" and now lives with her Honduran husband, Alfredo, and their two bi-cultural young adult children in Tegucigalpa. She is a teacher at heart, having written an extensive curriculum in Spanish to develop leaders to work with children and young people in camping. Through Christian Camping International, this curriculum has been used by thousands of leaders in 12 countries of Latin America for the last 30+ years. This has resulted in over 1.2 million campers being impacted for Christ in camps organized by these trained leaders.
