Love your blog and this interview was with ‘think international’ was spot on…
Cheers!

As leaders, it is our responsibility to come along side them and to see their dreams for God come alive… we may think its impossible but through encouragement and standing with them, anything can happen if its in God’s plan. We need to equip them with the tools to prepare them for the tasks that God is wanting to accomplish through them. if youth leaders and childrens leaders are prepared now with the right tools, they can better the prepare the future leaders of tomorrow.

When i was younger, in my late teens coming to the church for the first time and seeing jesus become alive in my life…. i liked how the youth leaders gave me pratical advise and they came beside me, believing that the dreams God was giving me would come into play if i give Him my complete life over to Him. if every youth leader etc, encouraged and teach young people what it means to serve and gracious, compassionate God who desires to see the world changed through young people, than anything can happen. we need to also adapt the concept of: “if God gives you the dream, than you are the one to do it” a youth pastor taught me that and it has stuck with me as i have been a youth leader.

- if it wasnt for the leaders of the church taking a stand and saying i see this gift in your life, maybe if we work on it together, it launch into something great and have great impact to those in the world today. God can do ANYTHING in out lives, if we are willing to just serve whole-heartedly and be faithful with what He has given us.
