It has been a joy and inspiration to walk with Claudio from the very first days of his Rwandan journey, and to witness how an opportunity to use his professional expertise quickly became the catalyst for deep personal transformation. It took great courage for Claudio to take this leap of faith, during a season of life so often associated with a slower and more comfortable pace, and his obedience to God's call has made an immeasurable and lasting difference in many lives. I am so grateful for vulnerability and clarity with which Claudio not only shares his personal story in this book, but also translates his own learning into practical applications for leaders. Whatever your context, stage of life, or experience, this book will challenge you never to settle for anything less than what God has for you, and will encourage you with what is possible when you say yes to the adventure ahead. Louise Reilly - Director of Public Engagement, The Wellspring Foundation for Education With a love for leadership, a love for education, a love for Rwanda, and a love for Jesus, Claudio Morelli weaves together a narrative of encouragement for leaders who find themselves on the edge of a new adventure. Both heartfelt and practical, Claudio Morelli encourages us to take that next step- trusting that the One who called us is faithful to the end. Matthew Price - Lead Pastor North Langley, Community Church In this life pilgrimage, there are few greater blessings than dear friends and mentors who can accompany us on the journey. Learning and Leading in the Land of a Thousand Hills represents such a journey. Claudio Morelli writes with wisdom and insight from his years of experience as a gifted educator and servant leader in Canada and Rwanda. He will make you ask important questions and give you insights you can use in your own journey from success to significance. I highly recommend it. Richard Taylor - Vice-President of Student Life, Trinity Western University, and Co-Founder of the Wellspring Foundation for Education This book is gracefully penned and candidly written. It demonstrates Claudio's response to God's call through his service with the Wellspring Foundation for Education. Claudio has contributed to God's restorative work in Rwanda using his knowledge, skills and experience. Claudio realized that in giving he received back, in filling others, he also was filled, in transforming leaders, his leadership also changed. This book is captivating, inspiring and resourceful. I've enjoyed every bit of its content from the beginning to the end. Phocas Ngendahayo - Executive Director of The Abundant Leadership Institute in Kigali Rwanda Claudio's excellent book on leadership, based on his experiences working with us at the Wellspring Foundation for Education, weaves practical truth and everyday theology together in a profound way. Looking at issues such as the Rwanda Genocide and servanthood, leadership is examined through the lens of what it means to be human and frail, as well as a leader people can admire. A must read for all who seek to lead others with vision and humility. Andy Harrington - Chief Executive Officer of the Wellspring Foundation for Education
