Consulting Review
Over the past decade, I have had the pleasure of working with Ed from a number of different perspectives during my time as a Board member and Board chair of Christian Camps and Conferences, Inc. Ed has assisted CCCI in development analysis, fundraising strategy, executive coaching, succession planning and succession search and placement. Ed's experience leading a large camping organization along with partnering with a number of outside organizations has provided him with a rich background to deeply understand and deeply impact those areas mentioned above. Most importantly, Ed brings a Kingdom perspective to all of his work and his relationships. Love of others was infused in the conversations he had with me, with the Board and with Executive Directors- regardless if the conversation was a naturally positive one or was a needed constructive one. Ed equipped me and the team to be better leaders and I can only thank God that He put Ed in the path of CCCI.
CCCI was able to exceed capital campaign goals, successfully plan for an Executive Director retirement, and successfully plan and start a new Executive Director - thanks to Ed's support and coaching.
Book Review
Heart. Passion. Transparency. Three words that describe Ed McDowell’s new book, "A Well-Planted Faith in an Uprooted Culture." They also describe the man and his relationship with God. In each devotion, Ed writes from a heart that is passionate to grow in his knowledge and understanding of God’s word. Then, with authenticity and transparency, he applies the word to his own experience, sharing lessons he has learned through the events and observations of his everyday life. Ed makes it easy for his reader to see practical application of Scripture and to make it personal. As you read the pages of this book, you’ll get to know Ed better; but his joy is that you’ll get to know his Savior in a more intimate way.
