Think Global, Do Justice DOGE, Millenial Donors and The (Potential) End of the NGO Era with Michael Cerna
This year has seen a tremendous amount of change for Christian NGOs doing transformational development throughout the world. In many ways, we are entering a new era of global mission and international development. To talk about some of those changes and to help us keep a pulse on what God is up to, we’re joined by Michael Cerna who serves as the CEO at the Accord Network. Building on topics from Accord’s Thursday Three weekly newsletter, Michael talks with Brandon Stiver about recent reports, articles and resources that are charting a path forward for us.
