LEADERSHIP ENCOURAGEMENT

Some days life can be very stressful, with many demands, too little time, pressures etc.

It is always helpful then to stop, breathe, reflect on the circumstances and take some (tiny) steps to move forward, regaining control over your situation.

One of the sentences which stand out in coaching training etc. is having to own situations and become creators of change instead of being controlled by the circumstances. Man, that's hard sometimes but so necessary!

You might look at some impossibilities right now - we pray you make the decision to create than to stay or become a victim.

If you are a Christian, this week is perfect to ask for a holy encounter with the Holy Spirit! 😀

Cheering you on!

“Happy anniversary!” Today is ‘Europe’s’ 76th birthday.

(From the Weekly Word by Jeff Fountain, The Schuman Centre for European Studies)

"You hadn’t noticed?

Few European nations make much fuss about “Europe Day”, May 9. Yet it is the birthday of the European integration project. Since then, the countries of the European Union have avoided war among themselves — unprecedented in European history.
Exactly 76 years ago today, the French foreign minister Robert Schuman presented a visionary proposal in a three minute speech – almost as short as the weather report – which laid the foundations for today’s European Union.

That speech, known as the Schuman Declaration, was not merely an economic initiative about coal and steel. It was a moral and civilisational vision shaped by Christian values of forgiveness and reconciliation, and of human beings created in God’s image and thus bearing dignity. Nations once addicted to war became partners in peace. Former dictatorships became democracies. Former enemies became allies. Borders softened. Students crossed frontiers freely. Millions of Europeans grew up taking peace for granted because earlier generations deliberately built institutions to protect it.

This was the start of the most successful peace-building project in modern history. After centuries of war — culminating in two catastrophic world wars — European nations chose cooperation over revenge, interdependence over nationalism, and reconciliation over perpetual conflict. And it worked.

A good name for this day would be ‘Interdependence day’, when Europeans began to practice cooperation, and pursue the common good rather than ‘our country first’...."

Thank you, Jeff, for being such a European champion!

Gen Z Insights - by the IFES Movement
Resources for reimagining ministry among today’s students

They write:
"Are you looking to rethink Christian ministry among this generation of students?

If so, you’re not alone. After rapid cultural change and the emergence of “Generation Z” on college campuses, many in IFES are recognising this as a moment to go beyond ‘ministry as usual’.
This resource hub is designed to inspire and inform a fresh look at how we can help today’s students thrive as disciples and witnesses for Christ, and how we might better understand and support young staff. Explore our curated suite of new materials, including a global report, Bible studies, a podcast mini-series (coming soon), and videos featuring Francophone students, as well as other resources from across our fellowship and beyond."

IF YOU ARE NOT HURTING, YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT LEADING!

A few years ago, Craig Groeschel mentioned this on his podcast. It has stuck with us ever since.
Leading means it will involve pain. Lots of joy, yes, but also lots of pain. A coin with two sides. You cannot have one without the other.
We obviously don't choose pain, but it is part of leadership.

At the moment, as the LeadNow e.V. team, we meet so many incredible leaders across Europe who are badly hurting.

Praying for grace, sustainability, chocolate, joy, mentors, peace, ice-cream, forgiveness, rest and healing, if you are hurting right now.
Thanks for serving even when it is tough!

Here to cheer and pray for you!
Just a Zoom call away if you need a confidential safe space!

MEET CALLA - HOWTOLIFE MOVEMENT

Calla is a 19-year old Canadian feeling called to Europe.
At the moment she does a road trip through some European nations - on her own - to explore and meet GenZ. She simply researches online, then joins various groups offline in cities where young people meet. Fearless and called!

This movement is for young people by young people, founded 10 years ago by 16-year old Jordan Whitmer, passionate about mobilising his own peer group for God and missions.

Young ones on fire for Jesus and the world. It can hardly get better than this! 🩷
