Browsing the twitterverse today and stumbled upon this video..
First glance the video seems fun, cool, etc.. but then I started to wonder..
Where would I be in that crowd?
Would I be too synical.. too proud.. or would I choose to enjoy the moment for what it’s worth..
There are so many situations we are placed in each day, that we have no control over.. (like being stuck at an airport:) However it is what we choose to do with those situations that define our character.
Below is a visionary template for a leadership developmental process
that will be implemented in the local church.
Vision:
To develop people in our church to become agents of change that impact our surrounding community by boldly and innovatively sharing God’s love.
Mission:
The focus of this ministry is to cultivate the character and leadership abilities of individuals to reflect the heart of Christ.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
Through the teaching of God’s word and communion with one another, the relationships forged will cultivate a catalyst for spiritual growth that will spur on the body of believers.
How:
Commitment to meeting regularly (weekly or bi-weekly) will be required and must be a priority for each individual.
Each meeting will be characterized by a time of teaching from God’s word in various formats (such as video, devotional, reading, etc.) along with time for building relationship (through sharing, testimonials, praying, etc.)
Individuals will be expected to engage the body of believers through a form of ministry or outreach (small groups, welcome center, soup kitchen, etc.) empowered by the outpouring of Christ love administered through us.
Mentor relationships must be sought by each individual. Corporate meetings are intended to foster mentorship, not to be the suffice for it.
Personal growth is emphasized through daily reading of the Word, and times of prayer.
Unity is an essential factor to the Kingdom of God. Attendance of 1PRAYER meetings is required in order to be apart of and network with other believers to fulfill God’s complete vision for our local community
