Looking back of an entire year is always a bit surreal and 2009 is no different. Recently in a Paradigm Shift staff meeting, we recounted where we were personally and organizationally exactly one year ago.

Paradigm Shift South Africa didn’t exist one year ago!

There was no curriculum, training materials nor training classes.

There wasn’t any empirical evidence that Paradigm Shift model of ministry would even work.

But here we are, an entire year later with a very different story.

Three entire courses have been written, tested and revised.

Paradigm Shift is now seven staff members strong (two of which are South African)!

Training manuals have been written, tested and refined.

And after training entrepreneurs from 7 different nations speaking 10 different languages we can rest on the successes of last year to propel us into 2010 with vigor and strength.

Paradigm Shift’s vision is long-term as we work with churches being the change both individualy and systematically. Should be a fun year and look forward to sharing it as it unfolds ahead.
