Besides all this, I am at the moment working a lot on my leadership teaching... The School of Leadership and my gatherings with the pastor team in Stockholm demands more and more of me – a pressure that forces both myself and our leaders to grow – hallelujah! Today I have taught from Tommy Barnett's teaching… Tommy Barnett (Phoenix, AZ) has been in full time ministry for over 55 years now...
A short summary from today's teaching:
1) Focus on “soul winning” is the only thing that gives a department of the church the right to exist.
2) The miracle and all the knowhow that we need is already in the house, ie the church – so search among the sons and daughters.
3) Dream big and dare to dream again.
4) The church must reach out to the homeless and hurting people.
5) The church will cooperate with local artists and celebrities in regional charity events.
6) Illustrative and creative sermons.
7) Serve God together with your family – Tommy's entire family is in full time ministry along side dad.
8) Many departments based upon a need and a possibility for every one with a dream to be given the opportunity to see it some to pass under the umbrella of the church.
A quote: "Find a need and fill it. Find a hurt and heal it."
See Ya!
