I keep a photo album of the leaders with whom I have had the privilege of working. 

When I am 80 years old and leafing through that album, I want to see the faces of Christian leaders in many different walks of life who lived out a great kingdom story.  Leaders who discovered their unique and special place to carry out God's purposes and found great satisfaction in it.  Leaders who were used by God to touch the lives of others because they pursued greater purposes.  

My desire is to see leaders, their teams and boards empowered to take their shared vision to new levels.~
