The Method Has Changed, the Message Has Not. After twelve years of
ministering to students on public campuses, Brian Barcelona's world
turned upside down when public schools shut down in March 2020. He
wondered if his ministry was over until two teenagers challenged
him to minister using his smartphone and digital platforms--methods
he had no idea how to use effectively. With passion and humility,
Brian shares the incredible story of how God helped him go from
reaching thousands of students locally to preaching to over five
million globally each month. He gives practical tips and best
practices from his and others' experiences on how you, too, can
instantly reach more people than you ever thought possible, leading
others in salvation, healing, deliverance and even baptisms
digitally! Don't Scroll is the inspiring how-to manual for
powerfully sharing the Gospel using the digital tools already in
your hands, as well as the heart and language for what Jesus is
doing in this generation. "I have seen firsthand the fruit of what
this ministry does. I recommend anyone to read and live out what
this book entails."--NICK VUJICIC, New York Times bestselling
author "May this book open our eyes and break our hearts afresh for
Generation Z and give us bold faith to believe for the Gospel to
save millions."--BRIAN "HEAD" WELCH, New York Times bestselling
author
A collection of Bible verses, prayers and liturgies for use during
times of change, concern, and celebration. While many books provide
prayers for worship and daily prayer, few books help clergy and lay
people acknowledge, celebrate, or mourn the more secular events of
their daily lives. Here, at last, is a collection of prayers,
biblical references, liturgies, and reading appropriate for use on
birthdays, at the birth of a child, on a couple's engagement,
wedding, or wedding anniversary. Other prayers acknowledge the pain
of divorce, illness, and the death of loved ones. Resources are
also provided for celebrating the beginning of a new job, the move
to a new home, and retirement. An excellent pastoral companion for
clergy, this book is also helpful to lay people who want to mark
the important moments in their lives.
True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves.
To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others.
The 5 Levels of Leadership are:
- Position - People follow because they have to
- Permission - People follow because they want to
- Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization
- People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally
- Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent
Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.
In the 1970s Hennie Keyter was an angry young man, fresh out of military service for the apartheid government of South Africa, unsure of his path in life and deeply uneasy about his faith. When God revealed to him that He had a purpose for him and a calling on his life, at first Hennie was not ready to hear it. When he finally accepted and understood his mission, a flame was lit in his heart that nothing could have extinguished.
But nothing could have prepared him either for the extraordinary spiritual journey he was about to embark on which would take him wherever God wanted him to go: from Malawi, "the warm heart of Africa", to Mozambique at the height of its civil war, where he was sentenced to death and faced a firing squad, from a less than welcoming beginning in Zanzibar, to the United Nations base at Lokichokio on the border between
Kenya and Sudan (where on one trip he discovered that he had a price of US 10 000 on his head). Desiring only to do the will of God and to spread the Gospel, Hennie took up the challenge of taking the Gospel to many of the countries on the African continent and in the Middle East, building up leaders and planting churches in poverty stricken areas, lands devastated by years of conflict and deprivation, and war zones where soldiers seemed to have lost everything, even hope.
Through the bushfire of mass evangelism and his dedicated teams of volunteers, supported by the love and faith of his wife Rita and his children Anton and Mari, in His Call, My All: An African Drumbea, A Missionary's Heartbeat Hennie Keyter looks back at his life in the service of the Lord and forward to continuing His work for as long as God requires it of him.
