There are techniques that can be taught and caught, but leadership is most effective when it is seen as a long-term process that is called out by people who help the young person see their worth as a child of God. Their appreciation of their intrinsic worth then helps them to connect their God-given gifts to the needs that surround us all. We, as the church, need to take seriously our role in teaching young people how to lead with courage and conviction. There are many ways that we can do that and many churches do an excellent modeling of that. children 7KHVHFKXUFKHVLQFRUSRUDWHWKHLUFKLOGUHQLQOHDGHUVKLSIURP DQHDUO\DJHE\DVNLQJWKHFKLOGUHQWRSDUWLFLSDWHLQPRUQLQJ ZRUVKLSHQFRXUDJLQJWKHPWRPHQWRURWKHUFKLOGUHQH[SHFWLQJWKHFKLOGUHQWRIROORZ WKURXJKRQWKHLUFRPPLWPHQWVWHDFKLQJWKHPVWRULHVWKDWLQYROYHVWUXJJOHEXWVKRZ *RG¶VIDLWKIXOQHVVDQGNQRZLQJWKHPE\QDPH youth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college students )RUOHDGHUVKLSGHYHORSPHQWWRFROOHJH VWXGHQWVWKHFKXUFKZLOOKHOSWKHP¿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he Gathering – November/December 2010 Where Is God at Work and How Are We Joining In?
