Praise God for the Walvisbay Community Church who worked hard to make their church available for this week-end's Global Leadership Summit 2009. About 400 leaders from all over Namibia gathered and were encouraged, motivated and challenged. What a great way to end the year. What a great way to be challenged for 2010. Like the late Dr Bill Bright said: This is no time for business as usual.- Bill Hybels’ first session, Leading in a New Reality, reminded us that we need to slow down and gently listen to God, even in the midst of the chaos of the world around us.
- Jessica Jackley’s insight on the whole idea of co-creation totally were exciting when thinking about new ideas and possibilities that are out there. It just starts be taking one, small step. I was challenged by the difference that a young lady can make in the world!
- Dave Gibbons shared his challenging thoughts and insights on creating a Third Culture, a culture of adaptation. Namibia needs to apply his ideas!
- Andrew Rugsira challenged the group to think differently about the continent of Africa and to not just look through the lens of compassion (Aid), but to also see the opportunity that is in the people (and Trade) on our continent.
- Wess Stafford shared an amazing story about compassion and forgiveness.
- Tim Keller’s session, Leading People to the Prodigal God, was a touching reminder to remember the true heart of the Gospel.
- Harvey Carey touch our hearts and convinced us that we need to step out and do something!
Pray for Namibian leaders in Government, Business and the Church to answer the call, to trust God and step out with their God-given gifts and change Namibia. In the Name of Jesus! Amen.
