Over the years with Youth World, Russ had the opportunity to train youth workers and leaders in: South Africa, Cuba, Ecuador, Bolivia, Zimbabwe, Guatemala, Eastern Europe, Britain and all over the United States. Russ identified a common trend among leaders around the world: they are stretched, on the verge of burnout, lonely and they need some help!
In 2006, Leader Mundial was born to help address this need.
Russ and Gina currently live in Quito, Ecuador and have 3 children: Rheanna, 20 years old and a student at Azusa Pacific University; Riley, 17 years old and a junior in high school; Raylin, 13 years old and in 7th grade.
Leader Mundial began in 2006 with a simple purpose:
Let’s bring together leaders from around the world and form a community where they will receive training, resources, mentoring and community! The goal being to help these leaders become more effective in leading and developing their organizations vision, objectives and impact!
In 2007, we had 12 leaders and 12 partners come together to form our first community. This was a rich time of training, connecting and encouraging each other in all that we had been called to!
With the success of this first Summit, Leader Mundial held another one in 2008 and in 2009. In 2009, we had 17 Global Leaders, 13 Partners and 5 Coaches involved in the community.
We’ve emerged and grown over the years, working with leaders from 16 different countries and targeting organizations to assist them in their development.
