Webinar: TECHnically Connected: navigating distance on virtual teams

April 10, 2020

Description: I’ve discovered that being virtual means more than being separated by geography. There are many ways in which we encounter and need to overcome “distance” within our teams. How you understand “virtual distance” equips you to address it. This webinar will share some of the “aha” moments coming from interviews and research into virtual teams. It will also explore virtual distance and provide some practical tools with which to span those gaps and help your virtual teams to thrive.

Presenter: Warren Janzen, International Director, SEND. For the past 15 years Warren has been leading and working with virtual teams. After church planting in Japan for over 15 years, in 2004 he took up the role as International Director for SEND International. With ministry spanning more than 20 countries and the belief that leaders should be located in the regions for which they have responsibility, virtual teams are his reality. What’s not virtual is his wonderful marriage to Dorothy, and the blessings of their three boys (all born in Japan) and two daughters-in-law. When not behind his computer or on a plane, Warren enjoys a variety of outdoor sports and table games!

Mobilizing God’s People for God’s Mission

In December 2015, more than two hundred forty leaders involved in mission mobilization from more than thirty countries gathered in Nairobi, Kenya for the second Global Mobilization Consultation (GMC). To better welcome many different kinds and styles of mobilization and mobilizers, this paper was written before the event in order to provide a simple but clear idea of mission, along with a broad, descriptive definition of mobilization emerging from scripture and practice. Leaders from several countries worked together to produce this paper, with some modifications made at the event. The lead author was Steven C. Hawthorne.
