The Center for Global Strategies

by Johncy Rajan

Regent University students were privileged to be part of a special presentation by Jonathan L. Moreno, President of the Center for Global Strategies, Ltd. (CGS) on February 4th, 2008. CGS is an organization that focus on fostering economic growth in troubled countries such as Yemen, Sudan, and South East Asia by facilitating lasting relationships using practical aid in areas such as business, trade, and technology. Widely experienced in business, law, international conferences, and government administration, CGS adds value as an ongoing catalyst to bring together all of these otherwise fallow assets for effective, productive action.

Mr. Moreno gave an overview about the organization and about their current initiatives around the world. He emphasized their mission to embrace the dual aims of connecting the world to the global marketplace, while developing the personal, trusting, cross-cultural relationships crucial to that task. He encouraged the students as part of the University’s mission of ‘Christian Leadership to Change the World’, to look out for the opportunities to make an impact around the world and also to consider possible internship opportunities.

Mr. Jonathan L. Moreno, serves as the President for Center for Global Strategies, Ltd., and provides leadership for CGS’s organizational development and assists in the strategy for international business and bridge-building efforts.

I receievd an email from Johncy about an hour ago, with the info that there was a presentation here at Regent today by the Center for Global Strategies. Their "vision is to see a world connected to the global marketplace through personal, trusting, cross-cultural relationships.

"A growing number of visionary, non-military Americans and Western friends are rising to go into welcoming nations, or to act from within them, in order to “wage peace.” We want to honor in our own lives the courageous sacrifices that others, from the West and the East, are making to build a better world.
We yearn to do something meaningful and productive – even if it puts our own sense of comfort and insulated, suburban security at risk. Individually, we are driven by a variety of motives: duty, profit, humanitarianism, adventure, altruism, ambition, charity, etc. Yet, diverse as we are, we’re uniting through CGS to embrace the dual aims of connecting the world to the global marketplace, while developing the personal, trusting, cross-cultural relationships crucial to that task. We are Americans and Westerners ready to do our part. We are ready to do something real, something right now, to build a future worth creating for coming generations."

I'll ask Johncy to tell us more about what they do when he gets back. :)

Have a great day!
