Top Highlights

“We have to be cautious about how we respond to this reality. While leaders say their number one need is leadership training, many of them don’t want to use Western models to meet that need. Many residential training institutes sit empty around the world because they have been ineffective at providing the leadership training and ministry skills needed by pastors in the majority world church.” (Page 43)

“Ironically, CQ Drive is the most important aspect when selecting people for cross-cultural work, including short-term missions work.” (Page 116)

“majority world church leaders are intolerant of theological training that engages the head and not the heart.” (Page 43)

“A person with high CQ Drive is always on the lookout for opportunities to understand different cultures and different ways of seeing the world.” (Page 115)

A challenging, well-supported, and carefully crafted tool that will transform your missions and service ministries into opportunities.
