S3E15: How to Double Your Growth Thanks to a Healthier Culture// Jessica Garrett, Dave Gibson, East West Ministries International

We believe having a healthy culture for a Christian organization is an end in itself. But we also believe when a ministry has a healthy culture it creates the conditions necessary for growth. What lessons about how to build a healthy culture can a global mission-sending agency teach the rest of us? The answer, I believe, can be seen inside the culture of East-West International Ministries. In the past five years, East-West has doubled the number of missionaries they send overseas from 100 to 200. Clearly, that's a sign of a growing, healthy culture. I want you to hear the full story, so let me set the context for what you're about to hear. The setting is Dallas, Texas, site of the Great Commission Community at the 2017 Mission Leaders Conference hosted by Missio Nexus. Missio Nexus is the largest association of Great Commission churches and organizations in North America. At the conference, I had the pleasure to speak to a group of mission leaders about the proven approach of the Best Christian Workplace Institute to help Christian organizations, churches and businesses grow their culture. What you're about to hear is an open conversation between myself, Dave Gibson, EVP of Field Ministries, and Jessica Garrett, Human Resources Director, both from East-West Ministries International. I invite you to listen and learn, along with me. Find full show notes here  http://blog.bcwinstitute.org/s3e15-jessica-garrett-dave-gibson-east-west
