Leadership in Times of Crisis: An Edifying Conference 

By Wilson Emmanuel

In March of this year, PLH sent me and 6 others from PLH to Port-au-Prince to participate in a two-day leadership conference for the 80th Anniversary at STEP (Seminar of Evangelical Theology of Port-au-Prince).

The conference had other organizations as well and church leaders, pastors, institutional leaders, civil servants, and others.

The presenters shared five main topics:

  1. Leadership in Times of Crisis

  2. Approaching Crisis with Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Agility 

  3. Methods of Organization: Strategic Management and Operational Management

  4. Creating a High Performing Team

  5. Decision in Uncertainty: How to Evaluate, Anticipate and then Act 

Through this conference, my colleagues and I have been edified.  I liked it because I learned a lot.  Now, I hope to address the crises and I understand more clearly than before the vision of PLH. PLH is here to help us change Haiti, not to change Haiti themselves.  PLH promised us training so that they could participate in the development of Haiti by making students. When PLH sends us to learn, we can be equipped to help bring about change in our country. The projects to develop Haiti are very real.

A big thank you to everyone that contributed to our exceptional and extraordinary training. God bless you.
