The final session of the WCA Global Leadership Summit was absolutely life-changing. Bill Hybels challenge to the local church and its leaders has changed me as a leader. The following were their comments:
- “Everyone wins when a leader gets better.”
- “The first 18 years of my life I would have given the church one word – Hopeless.”
- “My church was so hopeless in my view I wanted to protect people from coming to it.”
- “From 18 to 35 in my life, I was feeling – Hopeful.”
- “It was one thing to see a vision. It’s another thing to be seized by it.”
- “Vision propels people forward.”
- “People die for visions. Such is its power.”
- “I taught 15-year-olds how to be filled with the Holy Spirit…I taught those high school kids about the beauty of community.”
- “There is so much more where that came from” – God to Bill Hybels after reaching 250+ youth for Christ in a single night.
- “The local church is the hope of the world.”
- “The message of Jesus Christ is the only message on earth that can radically change the composition of a human heart.”
- “If every church reaches its full redemptive we will the cloud of darkness give way to the light of Jesus Christ.”
- “Will the local church, the hope of the world, be able to sustain itself to the end of time?”
- “What gives me confidence it will outlast any empire or business is Who is building it.”
- “One of the greatest privileges in all of life is when Jesus taps you on the shoulder and says, ‘I have a critical role for you to play in my church.'”
- “For God’s sake, how do you say ‘No’ to an invitation like that?”
- “In this gathering all around the world, there is more latent talent and gifts aggregated than probably more than anytime in human history.”
