What Are We Trying to Build?
Matthew ch. 15 tells us that we are to be the light of the world...what a challenge! As I reflect on this I have to ask myself, is that what we are training our students to be? This is what I want to be about - building leaders for Christ's cause. We are trying to build "growing leaders." They will stand in contrast to their peers around the world. They will be counter-cultural. They are marked by these characteristics:
ORDINARY STUDENTS
1. Self-absorbed
2. Imitate others
3. Apathetic
4. Consuming
5. Presumptuous
6. Controlling
7. Status quo
8. What can I get?
9. It's about the money
10. Blend in
GROWING LEADERS
1. Sacrificial
2. Authentic
3. Committed
4. Generous
5. Grateful
6. Empowering
7. Hungry mind
8. What can I give?
9. It's about a mission
10. Stand out
