Show Notes

We were so blessed to sit down with our longtime friend and colleague, Michelle Porter, Founder & CEO at Souls Harbor Rescue Mission in Halifax, Nova Scotia, during the recent Citygate Network 2019 Conference

Michelle is one of a small (but growing) group of female CEO's within North America's network of Gospel Rescue Missions (homeless shelters). She sat down with me and my guest co-host, Shawn Saunders of Dickerson Bakker & Associates to talk about the importance, value, and challenges of growing the number of women in leadership in the rescue mission community. During our time together she also talked with us about her experience in launching a new ministry organization from the ground up, what some of the challenges were around that, and how she went about engaging the local community to help fund and grow their start-up organization.
