by Peter Greer (Author), Chris Horst (Author), Anna Haggard (With)

Without careful attention, faith-based organizations drift from their founding mission. It's that simple. It will happen.

Why do so many organizations wander from their mission, while others remain Mission True? Can drift be prevented?

In Mission Drift, HOPE International executives Peter Greer and Chris Horst share the results of their research into Mission True and Mission Untrue organizations and show you how to:

● determine whether your organization is in danger of drift
● get back on track and protect what matters most
● inoculate yourself against drift now and build safeguards against it
● find clarity about your mission, cultural tone, and core tenets
● fully understand your priorities and metrics for success

Drift often happens in small and subtle ways. But with intentionality, courage, and resolve, you can follow a path of faithfulness.

Includes review questions and additional reading recommendations.
