INTERNATIONAL

If you want to impact a country, you must first inspire its leaders. The goal of this Global Exchange is to identify leaders who share our passion to inspire their city and their nation, provide training and establish the foundation for LeaderImpact in the subregion of Urabá. As a member of this team you will be involved in casting this vision and participating in a LeaderImpact Forum Event as well as dinners with local Christian marketplace leaders. There you will have the opportunity to share your personal faith story and experience as part of LeaderImpact.

Colombia is one of the world’s seventeen megadiverse countries; it has the second-highest level of biodiversity in the world. Its territory encompasses the Amazon rainforest, highlands, grasslands and deserts. It is the only country in South America with coastlines (and islands) along both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Colombia is also the largest Spanish-speaking country in South America. Apartadó is a town located near the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of Urabá, a subregion in the Colombia Department of Antioquia. “Apartadó” means “river of plantains” in the local Indian language. The economy here is based on bananas, plantain, corn, cassava, cocoa, wood and livestock. Because it is near the Caribbean Sea and the center of the country, the government is encouraging industrialization in this region.

This opportunity is designed to increase your leadership confidence, build relationships with leaders in Colombia and Canada, and to inspire you to make a difference back in your own city. We hope that you will join us in Apartadó for this life changing experience.

If you want to impact a country, you must first reach its leaders! This is the goal of the Global Exchange to Ixtapa, Mexico. Working together with the local leaders in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo, we hope to establish a sustainable platform to connect marketplace leaders! As a member of this team you will be involved in dinner parties, sector outreaches, business events and one-on-one interactions with Mexican leaders to impact their cities and country.

The city of Ixtapa has a population of about 30,000 and resides in the Mexican state of Guerrero. It is a unique city, having been built in the early 1970s on an old coconut plantation as a government-planned tourist destination. There you will find high-rise hotels, stylish restaurants and outdoor shopping malls. This modern city, partnered with its traditional “twin city” counterpart, Zihuatanejo, is the perfect combination of Mexican culture. Because of Ixtapa’s touristic nature, the business sector is primarily made up of food service, hospitality, and exploration activities. Ixtapa is also known for its sustainability policies and practices and is recognized as a worldwide leader in responsible tourism.

As a team member you will receive our best training to develop your personal faith story and improve your skills as a speaker.
