PV John on Spiritual Leadership

This morning the KCF staff was honored to spend a few minutes with PV John of Care India. He spent some time talking about spiritual leadership principles and sharing some incredible stories about what God is doing in India.

Here's a few bullet points. Good stuff!

1. Invest yourself in developing others. Release responsibility. Leave behind a spiritual legacy.

2. Be transparent.

3. Be faithful. To the Lord and to the ministry.

4. Be a leader of integrity. This springs from #2 and #3. Don't work for man's applause but God's approval. You are pretty much done if you compromise your integrity. All the years of working on building a reputation of consistency and integrity can be gone in a few moments of weakness.

5. Serve the Lord with JOY. Never look at ministry as work and a burden. When your perspective changes from seeing ministry as a joy, then suddenly you are trying to motivate people to help out of obligation or guilt. Remember, the greater the sacrifice the greater the joy in ministry. Our debt to the Lord is worth all that we have to give.

6. A vision that is given by God will never match our resources or budget. God will never ask you to do something that never requires His intervention. If your vision matches your resources you are simply doing an exercise of business planning!
