Leaders often share a common desire to see transformation in their
cities, and by nature these leaders are usually wired with a macro mindset of
community development. This way of thinking is crucial for casting vision,
raising up leaders, and is frequently shared among apostolic leaders, but this
strength can not stand alone. To experience transformation in a city, you must
make disciples. No leader should be exempt from this task. We are all called to
the “front lines” of service. Leaders must create opportunities for people to
engage in relationships and disciple one another. When focus remains on this
initiative, leaders become susceptible to overlook one of the greatest
blessings God is calling them to by neglecting opportunities to build these
relationships themselves. A leader who expresses wisdom in delegation does not
compare relationships to tasks. When we lose sight of the heart of Jesus, we minimize
the value of ministering to individuals that God is putting in our paths to encourage
and to learn from. A good leader inspires others toward community
transformation; a great leader is inspired by God-sent relationships that
ignite their calling to spur others on in doing the same.
