Modeling Leadership

One of the things I love about working at Thrive Africa is our deep, passionate commitment to training Godly leaders – in our schools, in our churches and communities, and also in our own Thrive Africa family. We know that we must model Godly leadership ourselves before we are able to pass truths on to others.

So within our Outreach Department, Pastor Abram and I have been digging deep into the Foundations for Christian Growth with our team of interpreters. Our most recent lesson was about becoming free from sin and being fully alive through Christ. The weekly classes have been life-changing. It has been wonderful to grow together, challenge each other, and equip ourselves to teach others.

We asked our interpreters “What impacted you most as you reflected on achieving freedom from sin?” Here is what some of them shared:

“That we are forgiven for our sins, but also that we should not misuse the grace of God by continuing to sin. We have the power and freedom to make good choices in our lives.” - Rabele

“When we sin, it’s by our own choice. We have the power to say no to sin.” – Eric

“In order to stop sinning, we need to identify the root and remove it, or like a weed it will keep coming back.” - Christinah

Please pray for our Outreach team - that we continue to grow as Godly leaders better able to serve and pour into others.
