[Music] all right we're on session two uh now last session we talked about how to think like a leader and the bottom line of that is we need to think like servants not thinking like Gentiles or people who are far from God thinking leadership is position or Glory or authority but thinking in terms of serving and serving people and the idea of serving as not just a stepping stone to a leadership position and once we get there now everyone serves us but leadership position is an excuse and an opportunity to really serve at a level that we've never been able to up until this point and I think if we see serving as a stepping stone we miss the whole point of what Jesus was saying but when we see that serving as a lifestyle and the more leadership position we get the more opportunity to serve we have I'll never forget a time and this is back to the last session we were hosting a group of underground Chinese pastors and the building next door this is probably 10 years ago um brother Yoon was here The Heavenly Man who's read The Heavenly Man book okay he was here and a number of other uh quite well-known uh Chinese underground church leaders and I came a bit early to the meeting it was a small private meeting maybe it was as many people as this section so it wasn't a large public gathering it was a it was a relatively small meeting all these great leaders flew in from China to have a summit meeting here and there were a lot of very wealthy Chinese Filipinos here who wanted to help fund some of the work going on in China and so we were hosting the meeting and I came a little bit early to make sure that everything was set up properly and when I got to the meeting I noticed that most of the Chinese guests these leaders of house churches that numbered multiple Millions they were in there helping our ushers stack the chairs they came early and they saw that the ushers needed help getting all the chairs and tables set up properly and so they just did it nobody asked them to they just started doing it and I came in and watched that and I thought no wonder God's blessing these Church movements the way he is and those were some leaders who the the the humility and yet the leadership Authority they had and they just stepped right in and saw a need and just started serving and it was a beautiful thing to watch and deeply convicting too um because I was coming early to make sure all the people were doing what they were supposed to do and I was ready to direct traffic when when I saw the Chinese leader serving I started picking up chairs and moving them around and helping with the tables like I do that every day uh but it was really convicting and really great to see that type of leadership um I have a good friend our Every Nation Church in Boston Adam Mabry anybody listen to Adam's podcast or read his blogs I really recommend it if you go to adammabry.com or dot org or dot TV or whatever.he is but just Adam Mabry don't do it now uh listen to me right now but Adam was uh worked with Tom Jackson it seems like a year ago Tom Jackson was here anybody remember Tom Jackson his hands were all over the place when he talked uh I love Tom he was he's got really long arms um I love Tom I was with him in Edinburgh uh in May this past year and Adam Mabry went from America to Scotland with Tom when the church started Adam was his worship leader and then Adam a few years ago moved back to America and planted a church in Boston and um when he when they do these surveys of the however they figure out the top universities in the world um nine out of ten of those surveys MIT is the top it's usually followed by either Harvard Cambridge or Oxford and then there are the others that start sorting themselves through where I went Mississippi State University is usually like number 4 000 or something like that um but um that's usually and so our church Adam planted his church you see this line right here where our church in Boston is here's the line this side of the street is Harvard this site is MIT and we planted the church right in the middle and so you've got I mean these are like the smartest people in the world on the right and the left and the church is in the middle and so it's a it's a it's a church filled with really smart people from all over the world and it's a great church it's growing explosively we meet in 100 year old YMCA for the basketball fans here the Celtics that was their home practice court uh until the 60s and and that that's where our church is now and three services there in that YMCA it's about this size and packing at three services and anyway um Adam is a young Church planter and it's just it's doing amazing so I seriously encourage you to listen to his podcast great stuff uh fantastic Bible teacher with a very anointed sarcastic humor all right um I know some cultures don't get sarcasm it doesn't translate but um anyway some of our other Church Planters in the states were having a we were discussing and they have a hard time with volunteers because they have to set up and break down every Sunday their chairs their sound system their stage their lights everything you have to set it up break it down and and a lot of our church planners were in a room and they were going their biggest problem was getting enough volunteers to do all that and so the question came to Adam do you have a problem how do you do it he goes I have more volunteers than I know what to do with and none of the other Church planners understood it but when I went there and preached two summers ago I know why because Adam is the first person there every Sunday morning unloading the equipment and putting the chairs out and putting the speakers on the stands he's leading the setup crew he's the senior pastor so he does all the setup and then he preaches three services and the reason he has no problem getting volunteers because he's the main volunteer and they're following his leadership and so when people are going we don't know how to get volunteers and the simple answer is you do it and people follow you if you're a leader but leadership is not telling everyone what to do leadership is leading doing it first setting the example then people will follow and and I I watched Adam I'm going it's amazing that he never has volunteer issues because they all follow leadership not just words now I'm not saying that every Pastor should be setting up chairs I know there's other you know sometimes as the church grows there are Ministry moments in people's lives that are significant moments that need to happen so I'm not putting that but as a church planter who's dependent on setting up and breaking down every week Adam solved the volunteer problem by he and his staff being the lead volunteers and I don't think he'll do that forever but he's been doing it for about four years now in setting the culture in the church um so don't judge your pastor if they're not doing that so I'm sure your pastors figure out other ways to express uh servant leadership so all right let's get into uh we'll start recording now in session two we talked in the first session about how to think like a leader the bottom line to that is Think Like a servant now we want to talk about how to act like a leader what does a leader actually do Jesus obviously was a great leader the greatest leader what did he do that transformed 12 provincial Jewish young men into World Changers what can we learn from that leadership I I think I guess if I can summarize what leaders do how to act like a leader it's this if you want to act like a leader here's the whole summary of this session if you want how many want to act like a leader okay you ready for this lead okay you want to act like a swimmer swim if you want to act like a basketball player play basketball if you want to act like a singer sing but if you can't hit the note don't do it anymore if you want to act like a leader then lead don't wait don't sit don't pray for an opportunity just lead but what does lead mean and that's what we want to look at today let me give you a few examples of great leaders who have led even though they did not have position or title how many of you ever heard of uh President Jimmy Carter anybody uh 1980 was the first time I ever voted in America and I didn't vote for him I voted for Ronald Reagan and uh Jimmy Carter had been the president in the United States for four years and he did something that is very difficult to do when you're a president he didn't get reelected in America and in most places once you're already in office it's hard to lose uh when you're running sometimes it happens but that's not the pattern usually once you're in you're there until your time runs out and so in his second running for a second term he did not only lost it was a landslide defeat it was very humiliating Jimmy Carter was a was a Godly Baptist man and he left the presidency and humiliation because of this Landslide defeat and he sort of disappeared and what what happened he started showing up on news reports that what he did for the next few years he volunteered for a little-known organization called Habitat for Humanity and this guy who was a former president spent the next year's building homes for poor people he started serving he just started building homes for poor people not for news conferences in fact he didn't want the Press on this as a Christian he just started going on these operations where disasters hit and they needed homes um um kicks is here our pastor and taclobin we helped fund Every Nation helped fund dozens of homes that habitat built in his City After the flood wiped out homes I went and visited those those homes a few years ago and this this thing is now a huge Global organization but when President Carter got involved it was unknown it was a it was a it was really an upstart thing and he just saw a place to help you know what happened in a few years U.S president started bringing him in on high-level negotiations one involved Libya one involved North Korea there were several at the time secret negotiations and peace treaties and things that started happening and Jimmy Carter was brought in to this new place of prominence on a global place without a position or a title or a salary he was a former president but there was no position No Authority enough but yet he sort of served his way back into this place of global prominence and Global honor foreign Global respect and and some people would say in some ways he accomplished more after he didn't when he didn't have the title and the position and all of the things that went with it so you don't have to have the title or the position to be effective some of us are waiting around for a title and position that we think we need in order to lead you don't have to do that Nelson Mandela um maybe the greatest leader in my lifetime the globe he spent 27 years in prison he had no budget no Communications team no office no position no power No Authority 27 years in prison and he changed not only his Nation his culture but became a global iconic leader without a position or title he changed a nation he didn't wait until he had a position or a title he led anyway he led without a position he led without a budget some of us are thinking if I only had a staff then I could really be a great leader no no if you're not leading now you won't lead them if you're waiting for a budget to lead you're never going to lead you lead before you have a budget before you have a title before you have a position before you have staff before you have a com team before you have a website but we're waiting for all these things that we think we need to lead Gandhi Gandhi not only changed India with all due respect to anybody from the UK who might be here or listening but he brought the downfall of This Global uh Empire um without title without a position without any Authority Gandhi was jailed four times during the time in India when the transition was happening and yet his ideas changed the world Ninoy Aquino you flew into Nino Aquino International Airport some of the Filipinos all know who he is but the some of the Internationals may not know um Nino Aquino was spent seven years in solitary confinement here as a political prisoner he had a heart attack and was exiled to the states to get heart surgery on the condition that he wouldn't come back so he became a lecturer on political science at Harvard and during that time he had a chance encounter with Chuck Coulson on an airplane flight and came to faith in Christ and decided to come back here even though he faced death threats and imprisonment as soon as the plane landed he stepped off the plane and was shot in the back of the head that's the picture on the left but without a position without a title after years of imprisonment in Exile even without life his leadership changed this nation and you see the other picture that was the People Power Revolution how many were not yet born during the People Power Revolution okay I'll explain it to you someday talk to me about it uh all of my American friends were leaving the country my wife was pregnant with our first son and we couldn't leave even if we had wanted to because one we had no money for a plane ticket too even if we did they wouldn't have let her on the plane as pregnant as she was and so we uh prayed through the People Power Revolution but the point is Aquino had no position no title no budget no staff in prison and Exile and yet he led anyway so I think you get the point and here it is simply you don't need a position you don't need a title to act like a leader if you're going to be a leader you act like a leader so let's talk about how do leaders act what do leaders do number one if you want to act like a leader here's what you do number one you build a team great leaders never lead alone Jesus Built a team of 12 and within that team of 12 he had an executive committee in XCOM that included Peter James and John he also had a larger team of 70. and he had these concentric circles of different teams that he worked with and so if you're going to be a leader if you want to act like a leader you build a team many of the greatest leaders in the Bible were actually Point people for leadership teams sometimes we think there were these great leaders they were but it was really a team effort Paul for instance never ministered or traveled alone without his team at times Luke traveled with him as you read the book of Acts you'll find the narrative changes as you know Luke wrote the book of Acts the guy who wrote the Book of Luke and so Luke ends and it just goes into the acts it's one long book that's just chopped into two and so in as you read acts there are times when the when the narrative is going we we went here we went there we did this we did that that means Luke was traveling with Paul and then there were times when Luke stayed behind and he says and Paul traveled on to the next city and he doesn't say what he was doing he's narrating Paul and then they meet up somewhere else and that's we went here and there so follow it in Acts you see what a vital part of Paul's team that Luke was so you have Luke you have Timothy traveling with him you have other people on and on that Paul always had this team he wasn't out ministering alone you have Moses great leader in the Old Testament but he had a team that involved Aaron Aaron was his brother and his spokesperson her uh Joshua was a part of his team that was the Next Generation aspect of it Daniel had Shadrach Meshach Abednego David had his mighty man and within the Mighty Men there were the three great leaders within the Mighty Men and it goes on and on when you start looking at the great leaders of the Bible and you look a little closer you find out it wasn't just that they were great leaders they built a great team and they LED together it was one of the things that um we've worked so hard here for so long to always have team leadership and again I think part of it was when my wife and I came we never thought we would be here for most of our Lives we lived here for 24 years and then eight years ago my role in every nation changed and so we started splitting time between our national office and our Philippine office flying back and forth and over the last eight years there have been years when I've spent maybe half the time here and half there than other times the last few years I've spent less time here and more times in other parts of the world but for 24 years it was here in the 24 years that we lived exclusively here um our goal was to build a team and not build around ourselves and and I'm I'm proud of the fact and I hope this is pride in the non-sinful kind of pride okay I mean you know there's a sinful Pride but I think there's a I hope this is not sinful Pride I'm proud of the fact that that our church is not known as my church most of the large churches in this city are known as brother so-and-so's church and Pastor so-and-so they're not known by their name and that's true in Many Nations um whether it's America or the Philippines people oftentimes don't call the church by the name of the church they say it's so-and-so's church and they refer to the leader and I've never heard of anybody ever called Victory Steve's Church um and like I said most people don't wouldn't know if I if and when I I walked in because we built a team and so I want to encourage you if you want to act like a leader the starting point is to build a team now the team that that um David that David built in first Samuel 22. because sometimes when we start trying to build a team you go okay let me find some great people but that's not really how David built this Mighty Men uh first Samuel 22 David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adam and when his brothers and all his father's house heard it they went down there to him and everyone who was in distress everyone who was in debt everyone who was bitter and soul gathered to him and he became Captain over them there were 400. wow 400 people in debt distressed depressed what a team how many of you go that feels exactly like my team but a few chapters later these people are called Mighty Men you don't find Mighty Men to build your team you find people who are less than Mighty and you pour your life into them and you build them into something that's great a leader of a mega church in this city visited our church a few times few years ago one of the largest churches in this city he came and spoke at something we were doing and afterward he said what many leaders of growing churches he didn't have enough leaders and he said Steve victory has so many strong leaders where did you get these leaders and I looked at this guy and I said you don't really want to know he said no I do where did you get these leaders where did you get so many strong leaders uh you don't want to know he goes oh do I do where'd you get him I said you built I got him in the u-belt they're all over the place the problem is they don't look like leaders they look like the cave of Abdullah everybody's in debt distressed discouraged that's what they look like when I found them because he was talking about 30 in June and all these leaders that were around me I said they didn't look like this when I got them you would have never recognized them most of the people that you were looking at and saying they're great leaders of telling my friend this pastor when I met him they were always studying their shoes and they would walk around like this and here's what discipleship looked like when they were doing this I would get my hand right here and make them look up and look at me when I talk to you don't look at your shoes nobody's taking your shoes nobody will steal your shoes they would walk around like this no no look up get your shoulders back stand like a man act like a man that's where it started so they didn't I said it took 15 years to produce what you saw and thought was a great leader so if you want some of what I found there's plenty of them it's just going to take you a long time to get what you want and then he said well you have so many could I hire some seriously I said you can try and I've had several mega church pastors ask me if they could interview Victory pastors for hire and everyone who's asked me I've always said sure if you can hire them you can have them but nobody's ever left because you cannot you cannot buy Suns you have to birth them you birth them you build them now the easy way seemingly easy way out is just to go offer some ready-made leader more money than they're currently making but then when you do that Jesus talks about this idea of hirelings hirelings will run when it gets tough when the wolf comes a hireling will run but a Shepherd a son a daughter will stand there and risk their life when the wolf comes for the sake of the people they're serving and so I've never wanted to build with hirelings I've always wanted to build with sons and daughters so you build a team First Corinthians 1 says this Paul's writing the Corinthian Church and he says consider your calling not many were wise according to worldly standards not many were powerful not many were of noble birth but God chose what is foolish how many of you are chosen by God chose what is foolish now I'm not calling you a fool Bible is Paul is and he's calling me one God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak you can never be too weak for God to use you can be too strong but you can never be too weak God chose what is low that means short people all right I think I need to look up the Greek chose when it's low and despise in the world even things that are not to bring to nothing things that are so that no human being might boast in the presence of God because of him you are in Christ who became for us wisdom from God righteousness sanctification so that as it is written let the one who boasts boast in the Lord how do you build a team three team Builders number one if you want to build a team you pray together pray with your team that seems obvious we're into church planting canvas Ministry World Mission it seems obvious to pray but it's amazing how many people do ministry and it becomes like a corporate board meeting and they do work together but they don't pray they don't believe God so you want to build a team you pray together I can remember before we had an office we would pray on Saturdays with our team and Joey would be at my house Joey bonaface show and and and Marie and June and Gigi and ferdy and Judy we would pray we didn't know what else to do we would pray together number two sacrifice together I don't know of anything better for a team than when we sacrificed together when I think about when our team we have believed God whether it was building a building or stepping out for a new church or a new Mission effort and we all sacrificed and emptied our pockets and emptied what we had and we it was it was horrible and miserable but glorious all at the same time there were times when we went out on Mission teams and places where you know we weren't exactly staying in nice hotels uh we were staying in pretty rough places sacrificing together and it brought a closeness to the team so if you want to build a team you pray together you sacrifice together number three you have fun together I decided a long time ago if I'm going to do this I'm going to make it as fun as possible I have no intention of being miserable the rest of my life so we're going to figure out how to make Ministry fun I can't find a Bible verse verse for that but that's just how we did it around here number two how do you act like a leader you build a team number two you lead your team Jesus led his team a team is not necessarily a team of equals someone has to lead now let me explain something to you guys here I'm the leader here for one reason and let me let me give you the secret of why I'm not the smartest that would probably be Pastor Manny Carlos I'm not the most trained June escasar has a legitimate doctorate he's Dr June we call him an anastasiologist uh ask a Filipino okay his name is Anastasio escosar so he's an anastasiologist smartest I'm not the best equipped I'm not the best leader I'm not the best speaker I'm not the most spiritual I don't pray the most I don't know the most about the Bible why are you the leader let me tell you why I'm the leader you want to know I was the first one I just got here first I'm the one who came here first I took the risk the crazy step out of the boat and probably going to sink and you know what it I realize there are a lot of people who are a lot better than I am but I just happen to be the first one in line so I got the job I would just assume someone else have it but it was me and so you know when you plant a church or you launch a Ministry and you're leading something great don't ever deceive yourself into thinking that it's because you're great and you're the smartest and you're the best and you're the best preacher and you're the best no you're just the first you're just the one who was crazy enough to risk it all and other smarter more skilled more trained better people and a lot of things came along and became a part of the team but somebody has to lead it and it's usually but not always It's usually the one who got there first okay so if you're wondering why the leader you're following you're thinking boy I took a preaching class I think I can preach better you probably can but you still have to follow that leadership you probably can't I'm being facetious you probably can't you just think you can but you follow leadership so what do you do if you want to act like a leader number one you build a team number two you lead that team and if you want to know how to lead we go back to the first session we did it's serving the team now here's how to lead okay what leaders bring to the team three things a leader has to bring to the team number one you bring energy the most important thing a leader brings to the team is energy and if you want to know how to get energy it's called caffeine God created this wonderful thing called no I'm kidding all right we'll edit that some energy is hyperkinetic and loud and voluminous and in preaching and pounding and sweating some energy is quiet and conversational so if you're a quiet conversational kind of person there's still energy you bring it means staying focused and staying dialed in and being all in when you're in a meeting when you're in a prayer meeting when you're worship me whatever you're doing it's bringing energy energy is expressed through your personality you don't have to change your personality when when June escasar comes he does life in Ministry at a lot higher volume level level than I do he brings a type of energy Michael baderis brings a different type of energy Pastor Nixon means a different type of energy but if you're going to be a leader you've got to bring energy to your team secondly you bring clarity you are constantly clarifying Vision Values Mission Lanes priorities it is a never-ending task you never get to the point where you don't have to continuously clarify Mission Vision Values and finally a leader has to bring Unity to the team missional Unity relational Unity philosophical Unity people will come in and they've got a vision to do that and to do everything in the name of God and me as a leader my job is to go that's wonderful but it's not us it's not what we're doing this is what we're doing if it has something to do with church planting with reaching the unchurched and the unreached in campus we're all in there are other wonderful things other people are doing and I'm glad they're doing it and we will fund them and help them do it it's not us we're not changing our mission our vision our values This Is Us and as a leader you've got to continuously bring relational and missional unity so you bring energy you bring Clarity you bring Unity number three you trust your team you want to act like a leader you build a team you lead your team you trust your team a few years ago last story and then we'll take a time to process this wow it's hard to believe what I'm about to say 17 years ago on my 40th birthday I know I don't look this old do I I look what like 56 17 years ago on my 40th birthday it was a surprise birthday party that they actually surprised me every other surprise party I knew it was not a surprise at all but this one really surprised me we had a conference at PICC over down by Mall of Asia and rice Brooks was there speaking and afterwards they told me they said pastor rice wants to go to the Novotel at that time it was a different name it was what was the name of that hotel before I forgot what it was whatever it was that's a sofa tale now I think and he said right Pastor right and I'm kind of complaining on one another but I'm hosting him okay we'll go there and eat so Deborah and I got in the car my kids we went there to eat because supposedly rice wanted to go there and eat so we walked in instead of the restaurant there was another room we walked into the ballroom and it's like this big and all these people shouting surprise and so they have a birthday party for me I felt really honored and embarrassed at the same time and so here's what happened one by one people stood up and started saying nice things about me and and honoring me on my 40th birthday it wasn't scripted it was spontaneous but the message was basically the same every single time Joey got up and he talked about being a businessman and here's what he said I would have never been in Ministry but Steve trusted me I couldn't believe it when he trusted me with the Makati Church truth is I just didn't want to do it anymore I couldn't believe he trusted me with that and then Manny Carlos was talking about I was and you know basically just graduated came back from studying in the states I'm here now and Steve trusted me to be the worship leader and one by one they got up and said and I and I it was an eye-opener for me because I thought you know nobody mentioned my training nobody mentioned my teaching my my counseling nobody mentioned my preaching I'm thinking does any of that have any impact on anybody and the answer was no they all said I'm who I am today because Steve trusted me I didn't trust myself as Steve trusted me I didn't think I could do it but Steve believed in me I didn't think I was able to leave at that level but he thought I could so I tried it anyway I'm thinking well why do I spend all this time teaching and preaching and counseling and doing all this when it doesn't have any impact on anybody but what they what I learned that night was believing in someone more than they believe in themself more than they believe in themselves that was a powerful thing and so if you want to act like a leader you trust your team you build a team you lead your team and you trust you you don't micromanage your team you trust them you trust one that they'll make a lot of mistakes how many believe your team will make mistakes if you want to be a good leader you've got to make peace with mistakes perfectionists do not become good leaders mistakes are okay we celebrate them and I learned that night that the power of trust and then I thought back to people who had trusted me way more than I was qualified to do and I think really it wasn't that they trusted me and it wasn't that I trusted Joey and Manny and Junior and everybody so much I trusted the holy spirit in them and I trusted that God could do something if God could do something in me he could do it in them and and and so micromanaging doesn't help anyone all right we're out of time on that one and so what we're talking about is act like a leader if you want to act like a leader we break it down to just a couple of things build a team go build you go build a team and you won't start with great leaders you'll start with Cave of Adam people depressed in debt discouraged people who don't know up from down but build them into great leaders build a team lead your team don't just let your team wander around you're the leader you lead that team and number three you trust them Empower them give them a chance to lead the way you got a chance to lead so let's take a moment get in your groups and talk about I've got three questions on the screen what are the benefits and the dangers of leading without a title or position what are the benefits and what are the potential dangers number two do you Trend to tend to trust or micromanage the people you lead what are the potential pitfalls of trusting people and what are the pitfalls of micromanaging people and what are ways you can bring energy to your team pick one of those and talk about it okay can we just take a moment we've got a few minutes left before a break and give me one somebody volunteer somebody from the school of world missions to give us a summary of what we just learned who's our volunteer all right somebody nominate Nixon who's our volunteer all right the man in the blanket it's like a superhero cape go under your phone booth and come out and what's your name all right Henry from where I'm from UK UK yes sir yeah you look British yeah thank you yeah that sounded like a real kind of a Mr Bean accent yeah James Bond accent sorry yeah it's Mr Bean it's okay yeah you're uh this is British you're from London obviously I'm I'm originally from London but we played at the church in silau so I'm slow now slow okay with uh is that where oming is in East London East London okay but the the uh the nearest uh the newest churches in uh in uh in Slough Slough it's near a Heathrow Airport yeah yeah great so okay so one thing that struck me is the leadership by example that's what uh I really like because it's very hard for your members to follow that unless you do it first so my style of leadership is I'll do it first and so that people could follow so it's leadership by example leadership by example great okay anybody else any other summary from anybody Moses can you give us a good summary okay Mike's over here Moses here here because in China so I think of so many years I live out or just like a parent my father a mother this is my experience thank you good thank you Moses are you cold all right uh campus ministry School yeah all right Arby you're elected Arby wow it's like your fan club um give us a good summary of everything we just learned um it's this this session is really a huge eye-opener and as a summary we learned that as As Leaders uh we don't need to wait for titles and positions and authority to lead if you want to become a leader then start leading and you build the team and for me what my favorite is to trust the team more than more than they believe in themselves and I believe that when you trust your team um you really boost the morale and when you boost the morale you get their heart it's not it's not going to be very difficult for them to for you to encourage them to do things excellently because you've already won their heart yeah who's trusted you think about anybody that you look and go wow I didn't really think I could do that but they trusted me to do it um wonderful campus missionaries who's now in Victory Lipa his name is pedrito mandigma and he's the guy he's uh one of the campus missionaries who really reached out to me um I remember making him cry because of my stubbornness made him cry because he was stubborn there were times wherein people would tell me hey did you know that you just made your campus missionary Kai why because he just did exactly what he told you not to do and and now looking back he said even after those times I made him cry he still encourages me still sees the potential in me still um chooses to see the what could be more than what I've done and because of that that really encouraged me to do the same to the Next Generation that instead of looking of what they do and what they've done I will always choose to see what they can be in Christ that's great right I feel like crying right now but I
