If you want to transform a country, you must first reach its leaders. Over the last 10 years, we have seen incredible growth and impact as a result of our partnership with the team in Medellin. This city has become our model LeaderImpact city in Latin America. As a member of this team you will be involved in dinner parties, sector outreaches, business events and one-on-one interactions with Colombian leaders to transform their city.
We are inviting leaders to this Global Exchange as an opportunity to reconnect with LeaderImpact and marketplace ministry, or to connect with us for the first time. We are confident that you will be inspired by the passion and energy of the Christian leaders of Medellin, and the incredible growth that they have seen in their city in the last half decade.
Medellin, located in the serene Aburra Valley in Colombia, is a vibrant, modern city known for its cultural encounters, the warmth of its people, and is called the “City of the Eternal Spring” for its pleasant spring-like climate year round. It is a city rich in culture and history from its Spanish heritage.

If you want to impact a country, you must first reach its leaders. Working together with the local leaders of Asunción, Paraguay to establish a sustainable platform to connect marketplace leaders is a wonderful opportunity! As a member of this team you will be involved in dinner parties, sector outreaches, business events and one-on-one interactions with Paraguayan leaders to transform their city.
Asunción is the largest city in Paraguay and also its capital. As one of the oldest cities in South America, Asunción is known as “the Mother of Cities”. Its metropolitan area exceeds 2.3 million people, making it the most densely populated city in Paraguay but also its most productive, bringing in 70% of its Gross Domestic Product. Eight out of ten people work in commerce and service and the second largest business sector is industry and construction. There is a broad cultural spectrum in Paraguay, reflected in its literature, art, music, dance and cuisine. Asuncion resides in a subtropical climate and the seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere, meaning northern summer is Paraguayan winter, and vice versa.
As a team member, you will receive our best training to improve your skills as a speaker. You will also have opportunities to share ideas with other Canadian leaders and your professional experience with local leaders. This opportunity is designed to increase your leadership confidence, build relationships with leaders in Paraguay and Canada, and to inspire you to make a difference back in your own city.

PAST GLOBAL EXCHANGES
LeaderImpact has a rich history in Mexico as we headed back to this resort town.
Despite facing challenges in travel and illness, the team members pushed forward, caring for one another and trusting in God.
“Transformation“. In April our team of 16 men and women had the privilege to witness and participate in seeing miraculous transformation in the hearts of people young and old, all across the city of Medellín, Colombia.
After having to cancel the last planned trip to Panama in March 2020, anticipation was high for our return to Panama City.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo is indeed a tropical paradise but behind the scenes lies a vibrant church community and a local population that is desperate for strong leadership with Christian values.
We were excited for our first visit to this city in the Dominican Republic.
After a 3 year wait, we resumed Global Exchanges with a long-awaited trip to Guatemala.
