If we think back to our learning from Andy Stanley I'd imagine we can all remember about making our presentation clear and on topic – making that one clear point!
So it is, as many of you have begun your LLD sessions this month, or are preparing to begin in the next few weeks let us be clear as we communicate with our fellow servant leaders. Weather we are making a follow up to the orientation session communicating in between gatherings, or leading this session for the first time the one clear point we need to always highlight is partnering with our pastors. Our continuing to emphasis this critical result of the LLD method cannot be overstated – this is what makes the mission of the church and fruitfulness of our congregational leaders so successful and pleasing to God.
We have a great tool in the LLD facilitators guide and the outline provided to cover many insightful, new, and leadership enhancing discussions among your groups. The book selections will add to the understanding, and leadership capabilities of all those participating in this program, but if we fail in always leading in the need for pastor partnership among ourselves and those we are working with, then we will not accomplish our goal of leading congregations to lead people to actively follow Jesus Christ – that’s the point!
Leaders Tip – this from one of our new facilitators, Cara Pilch who shares the capability of electronic download of several of our reading books on Kindle, Reader, and other electronic book devises, many of the titles we use in the LLD course are available for download at less than the publishers price of the paper-book version . . . Thanks Cara.
Participant Guides – if you need additional Participant Guides to begin your course let Tammy Calcote TCalcote@moumethodist.org at the Conference Office know and they can be shipped to you. If you have extra available, hang on to them for a month or two just to make sure you have what you need (in case there are any late come’ers, or someone misplaces theirs) and then you can turn them in to your District Offices.
Session Evaluations – Remember to add your questionnaire results to the survey-monkey link which Ken has up and running, just copy this link to your address bar http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LLDevaluations2010_2011
follow the prompts for each survey (yes, each one separately). If you have any trouble, just give me a call.
Thank you for your servant leadership and all you do for the Kingdom of God – Blessings to all.
