Description

In this episode, we unpack the essential mindset and strategies for starting community development the right way—without causing harm or stepping out of alignment with God’s timing. You'll hear how to:

• Listen to the heart of God before jumping into action.
• Honor and partner with local leaders—chiefs, mayors, elders—who are already fighting for their people.
• Identify community heroes and link arms with them.
• Build strategy only after relationship.
• Wait on God's timing instead of pushing your own agenda.
• Recognize that even government officials are watching God move through faithful, humble service.

If you're passionate about creating sustainable, honoring, and God-led change—this episode is for you.
