"Peter Greer and Chris Horst have identified one of the deepest challenges any leader faces." - Andy Crouch, editor, Christianity Today.
As Christian organizations grow and professionalize, their mission often becomes cursory or expendable. Again and again, leaders have watched their ministries, businesses, nonprofits, and even churches lose sight of their original goals in the process of expansion.
Mission Drift provides the tools leaders need to keep their organizations "Mission True" or get back on track. All leaders will face Mission Drift at some point. In this important resource, Peter Greer and Chris Horst show readers how to leave an enduring Christian legacy and avoid drifting off course.

Ok, so if you are still with me...what is in my best interest to do now?
Maybe we may be like the frog immersed in lukewarm water...and don't know what is soon going to happen. We don't know that our favorite organization is drifting off course.
Most of us reading this are contributors to a non profit and if we are blessed with the opportunity to volunteer also we are most fortunate!
Some of us may be "Staff", employees or interns.
A few of us may be Board members.
And maybe someone is connected or working with a foundation or grant maker.
What should we be looking at and watching for?
1. As we look at our charities website, is their Mission and Vision statement and strategy for reaching it clear and to the point?
2. What do they post on Twitter and Linkedin? Easy to check these sites.
2. Is there a listing of the Staff and Board of Directors?
Check them out on Linkedin. Connect with them.
3. Is there a clear CTA (Call to Action) ? What do they want you to do?
