The 1200-strong World Mission Conference strengthened a mission force for the new millennium. The majority of participants came from all parts of Brazil with more than 500 committing to become missionaries. Operation Window Fortaleza provided a strategic assessment window for the leadership of YWAM as they enter a new millennium. It has been said that an organization is a success to the degree that it exhibits authenticity, functionality and flexibility across generations. Authenticity requires an organization to embody its ideas.
Functionality requires an organization to work.
Flexibility requires an organization to be receptive to the inputs and suggestions of its members. Non-profits require leadership that enables and holds the organization accountable and then lets go. They demonstrate competence in relationships as well as in technical matters. There is a commitment to substance over bureaucracy. There is harmony, innovation, and renewal.
