  1. The single greatest gift you can give to another human being is an introduction to the God who loves them!
  2. The local church is the hope of the world and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders. Mexico City today.
  3. There is still nothing in this world like the local church when the local church is working right! Guatemala City today.
  4. What an honor to invest in fantastic pastors in El Salvador today! Can't wait to learn from them as well. Prayers appreciated.
  5. Today I have the opportunity to mentor pastors in the poorest country in Central America: Nicaragua. Prayers appreciated!
  6. 8 key pastors in Buenos Aires called me out at dinner last night: "You should be doing more to unite the pastors in major cities." True.
  7. No dad is prouder of his daughter than I am of mine! Check out @sniequist's graduation talk at Azusa Pacific U. bit.ly/JVTL4w
  8. Nicholas Kristof rocked Willow last night! Two more interviews on "Half the Sky" this morning. Come see it or stream it from our wbsite!
  9. I will be doing 3 live interviews with "Half the Sky" co author Nicholas Kristof at Willow tonight and tomorrow. Prayers appreciated!
  10. "More girls have been killed in the last 50yrs (for just being girls) than men were killed in all the battles of the 20th Cen." 1/2 the Sky.
  11. Leaders: Read "Half the Sky" soon. It's powerful! This week end I'll be interviewing its co author Nicholas Kristof at Willow. Can't wait!
  12. Leaders: Today represents another opportunity for us to give God our absolute best leadership efforts. I'm in. How about you?
  13. Leaders call problems problems and get about solving them. Let's all solve at least one nagging problem today!
  14. Leaders: Find 3 team mates today and tell them how grateful you are that God led them to your cause and how much they mean to you.
  15. The surest way for leaders to motivate their team mates is to come to work all fired up themselves! Inspiration is more caught than bought.
  16. So much of effective leaderships centers around the word "clarity."...blindingly clear visions, values,metrics etc. No fuzziness allowed!
  17. Leaders: Feed the hungry. Meets the needs of the oppressed. Then God will satisfy your needs and strengthen your inner person. Is 58.
  18. If a Christ-follower can not fire up on Easter Sunday there is something seriously wrong with his bunsen burner. Happy Easter!
  19. Today should be called "Worldwide Goodness Day." When God's good Son atones for not-so-good people like me, what else should we call it?
  20. The older I get the deeper I feel about what transpired this week on my behalf. Humbling. Awe inspiring.
