Here’s an excerpt that explains what LEAF is?
Leadership Evaluation and Formation is a specially designed senior staff development opportunity. We offer LEAF to senior leaders within the 4C Area of Affairs who have shown both commitment and excellence for a number of years. LEAF takes a concentrated look at who God has uniquely made you and gifted you to help you discern the pathway for your next 10-20 years of ministry. We feel this week could be one of the most significant weeks of your life; it certainly was for mine and many others.
LEAF is a essentially a week-long intensive work session for leadership development (conducted by some of our American staff that our divisional office is specially bringing in; it’s actually based on LEAD that is offered in Dallas Theological Seminary). There are only 3 couples invited to attend this program.
The LEAF program is designed to help us evaluate our growth as servant leaders. The goal of the program is to provide us with :
(1) greater self-awareness,
(2) greater clarity of our long-term goals and direction for us in work,
(3) identification of core abilities and core hindrances, and
(4) a game plan to outline the developmental steps we need to take to improve in long-term leadership effectiveness in our work.
Lil and I have already each put in about 20-30 hours of work to prepare for this coming program. Phew! We are really looking forward to what God will show us, and how He will grow us, thru this LEAF.
And we are truly thankful for this opportunity. Would you join in praying that God will meet us and bring about the ‘formation’ in us, first as His followers, then as leaders wherever God might place us. Thanks! =)
Do pray along with us also for his provision of USD$1,200 needed (per participant) for this leadership development program.
