Welcome to the Lausanne YLG Partnerships and Networks Landing Page!
This page is the landing page for Lausanne YLG Attendees who are interested in learning more about Kingdom Partnerships and Networks. It is hosted by Synergy Commons, a global learning community for Christian leaders wanting to learn how to build effective missions networks and partnerships.
Synergy Commons has created a private YLG discussion group and a collection of resources so we can continue the connections, further the conversations, and extend the learning that started in Jakarta. Below are next steps that will help you get started and connected!
