I find myself profoundly changed in ways I know will define my ministry for the rest of my life. What is is that is happening to me? Peggy Riley tells me that even my countenance has changed. Person after person asks, "What in the world happened to you over there?" I wanted to know the answer to that same question myself. So I began to ponder what happened.
For 18 incredible days, all day long, I was able to immerse myself in preaching, teaching, giving relational counsel and encouragement to people, and developing leaders through mentoring. All these activities centered on my two most passionate topics: relationships and leadership. I felt totally fulfilled and it transformed the lives of many of our students.
As I step back and ponder this, I see my true calling into sharper focus. I communicate well through preaching, teaching and writing. I design training programs well. I care for people well and I develop leaders well.
