1. The Most Important Thing in Investing in the Next Generation of Christian Leaders is to Point Them to God.
Tim opened the evening by telling all in attendance that this was not about a cd, but rather to place our focus on God.
2. Investing in the Next Generation of Christian Leaders Takes Intentionality.
Next generation ministry must be a primary
focus. Tim has dedicated the majority of his last year of ministry to
developing Greenhouse and The Minions.
3. To Invest in the Next Generation of Christian Leaders, You Must be in it for the Long Haul.
Young Christian leaders are developed in crock pots,
not microwaves. They also have a deep desire for authentic,
long-lasting relationships.
4. Allow for Mistakes When Investing in the Next Generation of Christian Leaders.
Young Christian leaders make plenty of mistakes. I
certainly did (and still do). It takes people like Tim who stay with
them through the good and bad to one day proudly watch God do great
things through their lives.
