He took a chance on Paul who led Luke (Acts 9:27, 11:25)
He led Mark (Acts 12:25)(probable source for Mat. & Luke)
His leadership had a HUGE personal impact on over 63% of the NT
I began really thinking about this concept after the idea was planted in my head by Betsy Glanville a couple of weeks ago. God gave me a clear picture that we need to be all about birthing and growing leaders at The Crossings. However, I really struggled with defining a leader. I began preaching the message that God gave but I was still unclear as to all of the nuances.
Well, I'm still unclear of many of the nuances but I do believe God has provided our definition of leadership. We are praying that God would birth and/or identify 100 Barnabas leaders. I am praying for men and women that are willing to take others under their wing to encourage, disciple, and love for the glory of His church.
We are well on our way... I love being a part of God's movement in the church!
