| In 2021, Taking New Ground pursued its vision of "Catalyzing Movements of Multiplying Churches" globally. International travel was hindered in 2021 due to the global pandemic, but Taking New Ground was able to lead two Catalytic gatherings on the ground in the nation of Pakistan and another two in Southern Brazil. In addition, other members of the Global Catalyst team were able to continue work on the ground in Serbia and the Republic of Georgia.With travel limited, 2021 was a great opportunity for the Global Catalyst team to shore up our previous work in countries like Belarus, Russia, Laos, Philippines, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, Uganda, India, England, France, and Cambodia through Zoom calls, ongoing coaching, problem solving, and planning for the future. Looking ahead, Taking New Ground was able to lay the groundwork for new 2022 projects in countries like Nepal, Cuba, and El Salvador. | $0 | $112,519 |
