Ready to lead?

We are about 35 days from selecting the next US President. The question of leadership is on many people's minds. What qualifications matter most? What issues are important for that president to have a grasp of? What do each of these men bring to the table? Who can I really trust? On Nov. 4, voters across the country will have reached answers to those questions and many more and have decided who shall lead.

The question I ask you to consider is this: am I a leader? With the focus on McCain & Obama, I think we forget that the responsibility that falls to each one of us, is to lead where and when we can. For our High School Students, I have challenged you to consider your leadership capabilities. I'm asking you to step up and be a leader. I understand some of the hesistancy and reluctance to make a committment to lead. Wearing the bulls-eye and shouldering the responsibility that comes with leadership is not always easy. Nevertheless, I believe in you!

I've been praying that this ministry will not just matter to the families of TFB, but to this community. The efforts of a handful of quality adult volunteers and myself are not enought for that to happen. Students like yourselves are a vital component to building a ministry that matters. I know you can do this--God has gifted you to serve Him. I hear students lament that they don't have a voice in what happens. Unfortunately, too often their voices are silenced by their own fears and self-doubt. I say, let your voice be heard and make a difference for God's Kingdom by being a leader in Crux Student Ministries!
