Can you imagine living in a place where chaos and corruption are the norm? Where bombings and hatred are fueled by politics and those who are supposed to serve and protect are the ones you run from? Welcome to Jos. That wouldn’t really work for a tourist campaign, but it is the perfect location for an Everyday Leadership Academy. Kingdom Citizen’s International School is willing to take a huge risk in establishing their school as an ELA, as it will require them to act completely counter culturally in many ways: how they educate, how they raise children, how they will live in peace with their enemies, how they will live rightly when their leaders do not. This community in on this path and committed to living differently, and to take the courageous step to implement this in an entire school is admirable.
This will not be an easy task and it will take a very long time. Transforming work is slow, as it requires paradigm shifts in thinking and behaving. Trish and Shawna spent ten days working with the teaching staff in March taking them through Reckoning’s Approach to character and leadership development, and in June the Reckoning team from California and Trish will return for part 2.
To join Reckoning and Kingdom Citizen’s International School in this vision of raising globally minded, compassionate and just leaders: share this story with others, donate to this cause, let us know how your talents and passion can make a difference in this work. We would love to hear from you!

What hope looks like
