AT THE OEW LEADERSHIP CENTER, THE TEAM CONTINUED TO SERVE BY SUPPORTING MEDIA PRESENTATIONS AND RECORDING CLASSES AND CHAPELS HELPING EXTEND THE REACH OF LEADERSHIP TRAINING BEYOND THE ROOM. THIS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO STORYTELLING IS ALSO SEEN IN A WORD WITH YOU, WHERE THE TEAM FAITHFULLY PRODUCES RECORDINGS AND KEEPS THE WEBSITE UPDATED WITH TRANSCRIPTS AND VISUALS THAT MAKE EACH MESSAGE ACCESSIBLE.
