Global Partnerships: A Conversation with World Relief

We’re continuing in our series of updates from our global partners and what’s been in store for them throughout 2020. This week we have the opportunity to hear from our friends at World Relief.

World Relief is a global organization that empowers local churches to serve the most vulnerable in their communities. Since 2013, we have partnered with them in Malawi.

Today’s interview is led by Summit Teaching Minister, Kailey Newkirk, who has been to Malawi numerous times, including most recently with World Relief. She spends time talking with Senior Vice President of Strategic Engagement, James Misner, and Director of Strategic Partnerships, Lauren Allgood.

After hearing this Stateside update from James and Lauren, we invite you to hear directly from the Malawi Country Director himself next month. Gibson Nkanaunena will lead this live update from Malawi and we would love to invite you to listen in. Registration details are below.
