Focusing on our values

The leadership development course doesn't only consist of classroom teaching. In our weekly schedule, we also have times when delegates meet one-to-one with a staff mentor, and once a week we have a special time in mentoring groups that are made up of two staff and five or six delegates. This year I'm leading a group with Jacqui (top photo) and we have six female students in our group (bottom photo.) These delegates come from places as far apart as Canada, Denmark and Australia, and are working in places as different as Holland, Thailand and Nepal.

Last week in LDC, I taught about how to identify our personal values and compile a list of the leadership values that make up our personal "ministry philosophy." When we meet in mentoring group this Thursday, each delegate will be giving a short presentation about a value that is important to them in their own life and ministry.
