Twenty years later, the Dallas-based organization
has helped some of the
biggest and most highly respected churches in the United States, as well as
other innovative leaders who are beginning to build the next generation of
churches.
Current
CEO Tom Wilson says, "While Leadership Network's focus has always
been on innovators, our methods
have evolved over the years along with the
needs of today's church.church reformed
In a further significant development
, Zi has added Arabic-script
Ligature Modules to its predictive text input portfolio.
The most
recent example of this was the announcement of
pre-integration of eZiText into the Series 60 platform
. With the help of Harold Myra and Paul Robbins of
Christianity Today, Buford gathered a group of
25 senior pastors of large
churches around the country to ask a single question, "What can I do to
be
useful to you?" The pastors answered unanimously that they wanted a forum for
peer-to-peer
interaction and learning."
And that's something to celebrate!
