\n

Nico met Jesus through Toto while they were colleagues, and\nthe two became friends. Some time after that, Toto quit his job and accepted a\nrole as the General Secretary of the IFES movement in Uruguay, CBUU. Nico was\nstill a young Christian, but he had expertise in administrative and management\nissues, so he volunteered to be part of the CBUU board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

He knew it could get awkward. His friend had now become his\nemployee. How would he maintain impartiality in the face of decision making?\nHow could he say yes or no freely while preserving their friendship?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This is where the IFES Governance Development training came\nin. It helped them clarify crucial questions: what is the relationship between\nthe board and the general secretary? How should they deal with conflict? How\nare their roles different? How could they work together to advance student\nministry in Uruguay?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

These questions are crucial for every IFES movement board\nand general secretary to work through. Healthy boards lead to healthy student movements.\nIt\u2019s that important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Will you pray for the work of the Governance Development\nteam?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
  • Pray for CBUU board members this weekend during their Governance Coaching Program, led by Carmen, one of the Governance Development team members. Pray that they would be helped to govern well, making wise decisions and strengthening the national movement.
    <\/li>
  • Pray for recent and upcoming Governance training for the movements in Niger, Lithuania, Colombia, Gabon, the DRC, Antigua & Barbuda, Ghana, Burundi and Guatemala.
    <\/li>
  • Pray for the boards and individual board members now taking Governance Development e-learning courses.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
