As I listened to Director Claude, I observed a common theme in the way that he develops leaders. He listens much, and he observes much. I will say that again. He listens much, and he observes much.
As we are intentional to develop emerging leaders, we must not rush; we must be patient.

Jesus’ command to make disciples of all ethnic groups was shocking. His
disciples, like most people everywhere, were ethnocentric. That means they
thought their people, their tribe, their ethnic group was better, smarter, and
more deserving of God’s blessing than other ethnic groups.
But, when believed and obeyed, Jesus’ Great Commission slays ethnocentrism.

There are some things that no matter how you try, you cannot fix. It is amazing how far man will go to try to fix things with money or possessions, trying to fill the void, and yet it will not happen. WHY? 

Did you ever want a short list of the core commandments from God that
summarize the others? How about The Big Three: The Micah Mandate, The
Great Commandment and the Great Commission?

A Person of Peace is receptive, hospitable, typically shares what they have, they are well connected to others, and they recognize this peace of God as something they have been searching for. By developing this type of relationship in evangelism it helps to open a way for the Gospel to enter a social group, family and community.

I knew that the power of The Three Circles is not in the stick or in the soil.
The power is not in how perfectly the drawing is made. The power of the Three

Circles is in the Gospel Story it tells. So I drew and explained and told the
Gospel as well as I could. 

oday, I want to share some thoughts about three additional qualities I look for in emerging leaders. These are a personality that others enjoy being with, their reputation (both inside the church and with people outside the church), and a strong Christ-centered marriage (if they are married).

But did you know that you can use the Three Circles diagram as a tool to help you make disciples? You can and here is how.

When we want to prepare a field to be planted, we would never go without bringing our tools with us, and then we must use them to be able to plant. This is the same with the Three Circle tool God has given us. 

But the more you understand, the better you can tell God’s big story and apply it to the needs of your listeners.
