What’s so special about a “Redemptive Leader”? A regular leader asks, “How are you doing?”…..a Redemptive leader asks, “How is your soul?. A regular leader asks, “How is the battle going?”…..a Redemptive Leader asks, “How are you surviving in the battle?”. A Redemptive Leader asks the kinds of questions that allow access to the deeper questions in life….not just “doing” questions, but also “being” questions. Such questions offer the leader the opportunity to have a redemptive impact on the people being led.
What a joy it has been for us in the last few months to be able to ask some of the “being” questions to a whole series of individuals and groups, and to see God begin to do the most wonderfully deep work in the souls of those leaders. In October we had the privilege of being in Voronezh, Russia to launch the newest training effort with a new group of Russian church planters. It was exciting to see these new students and their eagerness to get started with their training process. It was also an opportunity to get together with our graduated students and check in on how each of them is doing in the battle for the Black Soil Region of Russia.
Never forget, dear friends, that it is your prayers and financial support that allow us to engage in the battle for the souls of these pastors and their wives. Your faithfulness makes us able to continue on….asking the questions that really matter, and staying engaged until answers are found.
God bless you for your love and faithfulness,
Tim and Allison
