Gil Odendaal Consultancy, LLC, was created to support the emerging paradigm of partnership and collaboration between the Global South Church and Christian NGOs with their Global North Counterparts as equal partners to alleviate poverty wholistically in the hardest places globally.
Through his consultation, Dr. Odendaal will help you build and create initiatives that capacitate indigenous leaders and their organizations and churches, in order that they can embrace full partnership responsibility with Global North partners for wholistic Kingdom work through trust and collaboration.
