This past weekend our mission team traveled an hour south of Abilene for a weekend of training. Teams to Thailand, Australia, and various locations in North America joined us there. The theme for the retreat was Kingdom Leadership. It was an incredibly unique and refreshing approach to the topic of leadership.
Instead of spending the weekend being prepared for public speaking or other spotlight positions in the church, the focus was on seeking intamacy with the Father and letting our relationship with him form our identity. From there, an intimate relationship with the Father and a healthy understanding of who we are, we are lead into ministry, the grace by which we are called, or our vocation. It is also from a healthy identity that we seek to live in Christian community.
We had opportunity for self disclosure, confession, worship, prayer, solitude, study, fellowship, discussion, play, and more. It was a spectacular weekend! I have never felt more blessed by the team that God has assembled and partnered me with.
Here are some photos from the weekend:
