LOVE ON MISSION

The outermost circle of leader care is imparting your life and the gospel. The apostle Paul modeled this in 1 Thessalonians 2:8 by saying, "We were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives." As missional leaders, empowered by the love of Christ, we can effectively lead the church to declare and demonstrate the gospel in the communities around us (1 Thes 2:7–8, Acts 4:12).
