Lead Team update

May God bless you richly this Easter season!

Last week, ReachGlobal held its annual Lead Team meeting in Mt. Hermon, California, at a Christian camp and conference center in the midst of the beautiful Sequoia Redwood forests. The week was both refreshing and challenging as we worshipped together, studied the Word, prayed often, discussed ReachGlobal dynamics, and celebrated what God is doing around the world in and through our ministries.

The conference began with a full day of fasting, worship, and prayer. Throughout the week, we focused on discussing multiplication, vision casting, develop-empower-release dynamics, personnel health, and how we can be intentional about developing new leadership within our organization. Each ReachGlobal division shared a ministry report, and EFCA President Bill Hamel gave an update on the EFCA.

We were also privileged to hear from Tim Addington throughout the week. He spoke candidly on important teaching points from his soon-to-be-published book on deep influence – specifically, how leaders can develop a deep influence in the lives of others and what mistakes can result in the loss of that influence.

The overriding theme of the conference was the transformational power of the gospel in individuals, organizations, and communities. The ReachGlobal mission is to glorify God by multiplying healthy churches among all people, and we are gospel-centered in our very being. The gospel is the reason we do church multiplication, and this topic is part of an ongoing discussion within ReachGlobal and the EFCA.

In addition to the regular meeting schedule, the Latin America Leadership Team also took time apart to discuss various topics in our area. Although we meet regularly via conference calls each month, it was a pleasant change to be face-to-face, enjoying a nice meal in the outdoors and thinking through various aspects of ReachGlobal’s work in Latin America.

As your area leaders, we would like to express our appreciation for each of you, your work for the Lord, and your part in ReachGlobal’s ministry here in God’s continent.
