We have to hold this principle as a guiding light for all.” Pastor Karosas and Dr. Usrey believe that by hosting the Willow Creek International Leadership Summit here in Lithuania, by Lithuanians and for Lithuanians, “we are holding true to the President’s speech. We know that it is important to continue the development of Lithuanian leaders in an multi-cultural, international context, so that the people of Lithuania can be held in the highest value and achieve their highest potential.”
