The CDM Podcast

In a time of social distancing, we need to figure out ways to make disciples remotely. David Watson joins us for this episode to share his experience being kicked out of India but still equipping leaders there. They didn't use email back then so he had to make use of writing letters and making infrequent visits. But being expelled from India forced the leaders there to step up and make decisions for themselves. 

 

Discover David's experience in educating, training, and mentoring at a distance. Learn the importance of the relational aspect behind and many more tips in leadership development.
