Leadership Retreat

Leadership Retreat 2010 was one of the most remarkable, solidifying and advancing retreats in Quest Community Church history. We hit capacity with 605 participants for the 3rd wave of retreat, and there were so many of you I didn’t know! (I’ve been praying for you for so long…you can’t imagine how much you’re needed!) I was so proud of you for getting there.

Every session, from 1st wave to 3rd, stood out and shaped us for the race ahead of us…

1. CHOSEN – We Have Been Chosen to Burn for Him (2 Tim. 1:1)
2. LIT – We’re Called to Fan into Flame What He’s Entrusted to Us (2 Tim. 1:6)
3. REFLEX – We Have to KNOW Him to Trust Him (2 Tim 1:12b)
4. ENTRUSTED – Only You Can Complete the Ministry He’s Entrusted to You (2 Tim 4:5b)
5. FAITHFUL – You can be a faithful finisher (2 Tim 4:6-8)

Remember what God did in you and take action, friends of mine.

The number one thing people have reflected to me so far is a new understanding that “My Story is My Ministry.” Way to go, guys! I can’t wait to see real action as you step forward. Don’t forget your assignment to get in real conversations helping people find Christ after worship on the weekends…your story might just be what they need to hear! (You can do this…say hello to your friends and family later. People who’s lives and eternities hang in the balance will thank you one day.)

You were changed on this retreat. I saw it in so many of your eyes. Never recover from what God did in you. Never forget the video I showed you of my niece, Ruth. We are on a search and rescue mission! Never forget what you KNOW to be true of Him…and take up your baton to run this race all the way to the finish. I couldn’t be more proud of you!

p.s. Take today’s survey, be at Celebration this Wednesday night for a special Retreat Remix, and sign up to follow me on Twitter as we all run this race together. It’s an honor to run with you.
