Our future survival survival depends upon the success of our programs in leadership development. (p118 Barber)

a Dave thought...
Kylie & I had a great conversation the other night with a young lady considering officership. She couldn't believe how good it all sounded - live in community for 2 years while studying God's word, having a life time ministry focused towards the marginalised, and having all your lifestyle requirements looked after so you can live lightly and never have to buy any assets or get into debt. She shared about the opportunity to serve God in many varied opportunities and locations, including overseas, as this also suits the way young people want to do ministry.
Although she is new to the Salvos she has a great heart and her look at this full time calling is refreshing.
Why is it that we seem to have to try and talk people into this amazing opportunity for ministry, surely there is no better way to do ministry in today's world.

God is still calling quality young people today to officership and the future is looking good.

Just a thought.
