@johnortberg I am grateful for you John. I am retiring soon after 40 years of serving churches. I gave away my vast library of books to three young pastors, books I collected over all my years of ministry. There were a bunch I could not part with, and many were authored by you.

Pray that churches will cast a vision of God’s global plan to make disciples of all nations and why it matters so much. @crcamtc #prayer #vision #visionmatters #Gospel

What do you look for in a leader? - https://t.co/P7LKhK0qXN

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

To lead like Jesus requires intimacy. The biggest barrier to intimacy is the fear of having to admit that you don't know all the answers, that you may need help, and that your abilities as a leader may be in question. - Ken Blanchard (Lead Like Jesus) @crcamtc #Leadership

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

When you look for a leader you look for someone who has a godly character. Someone who is broken before God. Who knows the depth of their sin. And who strives to have a pure heart - a steadfast spirit. https://t.co/s9LjYuuodX @crcamtc #leadership #pureheart #character

"You need to be the culture you want to see in your church.  Whatever the culture you want to create, it always begins with you, the leader.  If it's not who you are, or who you want to be, it will never be the culture." - Craig Hamilton @crcamtc #leadership #culture #church

Pray that God will move churches to actively pray for specific people, specific needs in the harvest field, and that God will lay this burden on many hearts. @crcamtc #prayer #harvest #raisinggospelworkers

To be a leader of influence you cannot do this alone. - https://t.co/4dQh6f99d0

Connection is a very important part of the process of mentoring others.  And it's absolutely critical if you want to influence people in a positive way. - John C. Maxwell @crcmtc #influence #change #LeadershipDevelopment

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

Leaders who are skilled at influencing others realise that people need to be connected one to another. Sometimes as humans we just need that little extra push that will move us in the right direction. https://t.co/1M76kkdvLA @crcamtc #networks #influence #leaders

"Culture change in the church is no easy thing.  It takes a long time and an almost obsessive discipline.  It may be one of the most challenging leadership endeavours there is." - Craig Hamilton @crcamtc #leadership #culture #culturechange

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

You cannot be a leader of influence without trust. - https://t.co/cjvqPFVRy7

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

People will forgive occasional mistakes based on ability, especially if they see you are still growing as a leader.  But they will not trust someone who slips in character.  That is one reason you need to treat trust as your most precious asset.  - John C. Maxwell @crcamtc #trust

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

If you desire to be a leader that influences others, then build and maintain trust. Walk in integrity of heart, be loyal to those you serve, and show ability to assist others. So doing, you will build trust among those you serve. https://t.co/L4D3kpmjN9 @crcamtc #trust

"Without a healthy culture in your church it will be next to impossible to grow a vibrant leadership development system. Culture cradles and shapes -- and in one sense necessarily limits - everything done in your ministry." - Craig Hamilton @crcamtc #churchculture #leadership

Are you promoting the vision of your church? - https://t.co/M0yFtsMwF3

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

A vision is comparable to the brochures that a travel company uses to provide interested travellers with pictures of what some exotic destination will be like when they get there and makes them want to go there. - Aubrey Malphurs @crcamtc #vision #leadership #strategicplanning

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

When people see the opportunities ahead of them they are more likely to seize the opportunities today to join in God's mission in this world. https://t.co/cYGw8AuCNw @crcamtc #vision #influence #leadership

[Ministry Formation @crcamtc]

To establish a leadership development framework and pipeline in your church isn't a year-long project. Think three to five years. The pipeline is the most difficult to implement. - Craig Hamilton @crcamtc #leadershippipeline #leaders #leadershipdevelopment
