Kelly Brown, author of Equipping Lay Venture
Leaders writes that an intentional leadership
process is imperative so technical and adaptive
changes can be made by leaders in a rapidly
changing world to help leaders be prepared to move
the mission forward. This must be an intentional,
ongoing process, which grows out of the disciple-making system and helps identify, empower, and
deploy leaders. We need to pray for the Holy Spirit
to bring us new leaders; for us to see their gifts and
potential; and for their leadership journey.
When we look at creating a culture of leadership
development in our churches, we should take
the best of all the other approaches and focus on
establishing an intentional process of growing
leaders. Brown writes that the best approach for
leadership development in a church or other
organization is a combination of several of the
approaches, many of which are reviewed in this
book, accompanied with an intentional overall
strategy.
Equipping Lay Venture Leaders is written to help
the local church focus on organizational goals,
specific areas in the congregation where the leader
is working or serving, and focus on the needs of the
individual leader.
