Make an investment in your leaders/volunteers

by Kenny Conley | May 29, 2014 | Ideas, Leadership | 0

I’m a HUGE fan of the regional conference. Whenever possible, I go to the big national conference. They inspire me and challenge me to think bigger than I currently do. They help me take a step back and see the forest from the trees. Whenever possible, I encourage ministry leaders to get away and grow in this way. Few things will do more for your ministry than for the leader to expand his/her vision and to connect with other like-minded people.

However, little will have a greater impact on momentum and synchronized focus than mass participation at a regional conference/event.

Orange Tour 2012/2013

by Kenny Conley | Jun 25, 2012 | Family, Ideas, Leadership | 0

Orange recently released the dates and locations of the 2012-2013 Orange Tour. I’m pumped for several reasons.

The Orange Tour is amazing. As much as I love attending the Orange Conference, I love bringing key leaders and volunteers to the Orange Tour. It is one of the biggest investments I make into my ministry and leaders every year. If you’re new to Orange and you are not sure what it’s all about, I encourage you to get to a tour location this year. Fly, drive or take a boat for all I care. You’ll spend a lot less than a regular conference, but you’ll get a heaping dose of Orange strategy that will certainly bring you up to speed.
I have a feeling about the tour this year.
