APOSTOLIC STRATEGIES
"The task of apostolic strategic planning is to father both people and organizations into their God-given identity and purpose."​​
— Paul Manwaring
At God Organizing Dominance for Justice, we believe that vision without strategy is incomplete. Our Strategic Planning Process equips leaders and teams to discern God's will, align with Kingdom values, and develop actionable steps that produce lasting transformation.
Our
Approach
This is not a conventional planning course. It is the Apostolic Strategic Planning process fathered by Paul Manwaring—a father of people and organizations who has spent decades equipping the Body of Christ to think and build apostolically. Rooted in biblical principles, this process blends revelation and strategy, helping Kingdom-focused organizations birth what God has placed in them and steward it with wisdom.
Whether delivered over a few evenings, several weeks, or in an intensive 3-day workshop, this process empowers teams to move from inspiration to implementation.
