Building Your Partnership Team: The Essential First Steps

In this episode, we train on how to do an excellent job in partnership development in order to build trust and longevity with your partnership team. Good stewardship in the area of relationships with partners is essential. Managing our time and giving weekly priority to building and maintaining a team is also vital. We lead listeners in a “namestorming” exercise to help you come up with a list of 200 potential partners. We share powerful quotes from YWAM founder Loren Cunningham on how to have the right perspective when approaching friends to become partners so that we draw them closer to us and to God in the process.
