As the global church becomes more Asian and African, it becomes ever more important for North American Christians to pay attention to the emerging teachings and leadership from countries historically thought of as mission fields.

Especially when the problems they’re talking about—Economic collapse, corruption in politics, and so on—are once again on our North American plates.

To wit, here’s part of an article from Nigeria's This Day newspaper on the annual leadership conference for the Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (NIFES):

Christian students should exercise their leadership skills for the benefit of the society and not for their personal gains, wife of the Archbishop of Lagos Anglican Diocese, Mrs. Oluranti Ademowo, has said. ... Ademowo said students could not lead without the knowledge of God and that they should not see leadership as a means to wealth or popularity, rather, they should operate within God's will and wisdom and be selfless.
