ACHIEVING SPIRITUAL GROWTH
LEADER IMPACT
Leaders need to be great professionally in order to establish credibility. Their personal health and relationships need to be in order. They need to have a faith in God through Jesus that guides and influences every action. When these areas come together – they become leaders who will have an impact.
ABOUT
My name is Kari Yli-Renko, and my whole adult life has been about Sports, Business, and Ministry...
It all started in University where I was an all-conference tackle and Academic All-American at University of Cincinnati. Next came a 12-year Pro football career in the USFL and CFL, before going into business, then ministry... After retiring from football, I operated an award-winning family fun center for 6 years until family illness forced its closure. The center focused on developing children through play. For 6 years I had the privilege of serving as Executive Director of the Ottawa Christian Leadership Centre, a division of ONEWAY Ministries... I joined Athletes in Action as a full-time staff member in summer 2008, serving as National Director. This brought me back to my roots in Sports ministry, and to multiplying movements. Since 2011 I have been focusing on growing movements of evangelism and discipleship in the marketplace in Ontario with LeaderImpact (a division of Power to Change Ministries).
My goal is to create inspiring, relevant content that you can put to work in your personal and professional life. If you are in a position of spiritual leadership—or want to be—then this blog is for you.
