Johannesburg Institute welcomed 25 leaders: “Thank you for making these Institutes possible”

OC’s ninth 2008 Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development took place October 13-17 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The event was hosted by OC partner South African Theological Seminary (SATSSA). Twenty-five leaders from strategic training programs in the region attended the Institute, representing Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The five-day Institute, themed “Leadership Matters,” focused on topics designed to equip participants as more effective school leaders. All presentations and materials were available in English.

“I really appreciated being part of the Institute,” one Institute participant said. “Thank you for making these Institutes possible – they impact the life of the college in a huge way. The Ministry Action Plan is a great idea too.” Another participant said, “God had already started challenging me to change my leadership style; this Institute added to that. I need to do more team building and encourage individuals more, celebrate their achievements, encourage them in their ideas, allow them space to grow and prepare others to take over from me.”
