Core Principles
Direction
A leader offers direction, sensitizes people & mobilizes them to follow.
Multiplication
A leader is a duplicator and multiplier of grace.
Knowledge Sharing
He distributes freely from his bank of knowledge.
“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
— Matthew 20:26
Not all in ministry are leaders.
Ministry is not all about preaching and teaching.
