Spiritual Encouragement
When I was much younger, I wanted to lead because it is a power to change things to my own selfish liking.
However, after becoming a Christian, I quickly recognize that the bible paints a very different picture of true leaders. Jesus, when asked "Are you the King of the Jews?" replied, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world."
What does it really mean to be a leader to you?
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Mark 10:45
Prayer Square
Please pray for the leaders in GCF, for a fruitful and blessed time at the retreat. Pray for wisdom and direction for the GCF leaders.
Pray for the US and world leaders.
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
1 Timothy 2:1-4
