Nicaragua Straight Ahead

On Thursday I leave for Managua and parts beyond. Your prayers are requested, needed and would be appreciated. I'll arrive ahead of a team of five assembling to host a spiritual retreat for emerging young leaders. Let your heart for the next generation be your guide in prayer! 🙂

I stole this photo from a friend Joe's Facebook, who will be traveling with me on the ground. He and Ulises will meet me at the airport, along with Jairo, and adventure will unfold before our seeking hearts! (Thru your prayers 🙂 Continue reading “Nicaragua Straight Ahead”

5 Keys of Leadership

At the event with Nicaraguan Pastors

A few weeks ago I was invited to speak to 30+ Nicaraguan Pastors who are in the States doing a study intensive for their Bachelor's degree.  It was an honor.  I was asked to speak about leadership, and after looking over the notes I put together, thought it might be a blessing to you also.

There are many keys to leadership but these 5 Keys for Leadership have been significant in my life.  I have often not done well with these and have learned a lot by missing the mark and bearing the cost of error.  Hopefully this will be a way for you to get the benefit of my investment without making the mistakes for yourself.

I have been studying the subject of leadership for more than 20 years.  I have read very many books on the subject, have written a little bit about it, and have had numerous experiences in ministry and business, being in charge and also being a part of a team.  Leadership is a worthwhile subject to understand, as very little gets accomplished without leadership.  If you want to be fruitful and effective, growing in your ability to bear responsibility well, do your best to get a solid understanding of this subject.

5 Claves para el Liderazgo

At the event with Nicaraguan Pastors
En el evento con los pastores Nicaraguenses!

Hace unas semanas me invitaron a compartir a más de 30 Pastores Nicaragüenses que se encuentran en los Estados Unidos tomando un estudio intensivo para obtener su Licenciatura. Fue un honor. Me pidieron hablar sobre el liderazgo y después de mirar las notas que redacté, pensé que también podría ser una bendición para ti.

Hay muchas claves para liderar, pero estas 5 Claves han sido importantes en mi vida. A menudo no me ha ido bien con esto, he aprendido mucho cuando pierdo el objetivo y cubro el costo del error. Esperemos que esta sea una manera de sacarle provecho a mi inversión sin que cometas los mismos errores.

He estado estudiando el tema de liderazgo por más de 20 años. He leído muchos libros sobre el tema, he escrito un poco, y he tenido numerosas experiencias en el ministerio y los negocios, estando a cargo e incluso siendo parte de un equipo. El liderazgo es un tema que vale la pena entender, ya que se logra muy poco sin éste. Si deseas ser fructífero y eficaz, creciendo en tu capacidad para asumir la responsabilidad; haz lo mejor para obtener una comprensión firme de este tema.

Juarez 2014 – “One Star Missions”

Juarez 2014 – “One Star missions” – by Vince Corcoran @princevince13

            Allow me to pull back the curtain on the missions and ministry travel world for you, if just for a moment. There are “missions trips” and there are “ministry trips” – the difference is subtle at times and staggering at others. Scott and I talked about “Five Star Missionaries” a couple of times while in Juarez or en route.

            [We all know these people, the ones that require offerings and accommodations and special treatment and a schedule that keeps them from being “overwhelmed by the people” (you know, those pesky people you went on the trip to minister to?) – let's not forget the food requirements, they are allergic to the green M&Ms and they need an albino wolfhound to pet in the back room after each meeting.] Continue reading “Juarez 2014 – “One Star Missions””
