“I thought I was alone.”

That sentiment is often shared by leaders of color working in predominantly white spaces. They know God has entrusted them with gifts and skills essential for kingdom work in their organizations — yet belonging and community are often bypassed when their presence is reduced to a symbol of diversity. Many leaders of color experience spiritual fatigue as they serve faithfully while grappling with the ways their full identity is not celebrated. The burden is heavy — and too often invisible.

Join us on August 27 at 1:00 p.m. ET for a free webinar featuring meaningful conversation among leaders of color who have carried the weight of leadership with resilience and hope. Co-hosted by the National Association of Evangelicals and William Carey International University, this webinar will elevate the voices of leaders of color who have found purpose, healing and rest through community with other leaders of color.

Join WCIU and Fuller Seminary LIVE or virtually for a Symposium about state of World Christianity today. Registration if FREE for required. DM us for the link!

Since the late twentieth century, we have returned to a situation not seen since the end of the first millennium: There are more Christians outside Europe than within it. Today the continents with the most Christians are Africa and Latin America. "World Christianity" is both a fact and a field of study. In this symposium, we will engage with thought-leaders on world Christianity to discover what difference world Christianity makes to the US church and missions.
