The Role of Leadership in Equipping
Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional Equipping Network invites all to attend The Role of Leadership in Equipping session on Thursday, November 5 from 7 – 9 p.m. at Franconia Mennonite Church. This session will explore the role we play in leading the value of equipping. Equipping must be championed from a leadership level if it’s to have an impact on the culture. While leadership may not be our primary gift, we can lead others through the power of influence. Many say leadership is influence, so we’ll look at the concept of “3-D” leading. We will spend some time just getting to know one another during the first half hour since this is a vital part of what we hope to accomplish in our meetings together. This network is not just about information but about relationships and how both of these can work together to build up the Kingdom in area of educating the Christians in our area on their vital role in doing the work of the ministry.
Deal With It – Leading with Integrity

The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
