“Churches in the UK need to address leadership development so that they can develop ongoing and meaningful mission into their communities. I see DNA as an excellent resource for churches who want to make a real investment into their own people – leadership development and mission are hallmarks of all that DNA do.”
The Revd Paul Bayes
National Mission and Evangelism Adviser, Church of England
