– Taught by Johnny Wong

‘The work for God in this earth can never be finished until men and women comprising our church membership rally to work and unite their efforts with those of ministers and church officers.’ – Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p.116. This statement assumes that ministers and church officers have a plan and are willing to lead the change. But making changes in a volunteer-based organization, like the local church, can be very challenging. In this course, Johnny Wong guides you through a study of Nehemiah 2 to extract 21st-century change management skills demonstrated by Nehemiah as he led successful change management efforts for his people.
