Live Blog From ReThink Conference – 18 Leadership Quotes From Jim Mellado

This is the second day I will be live blogging from the ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA.  ReThink, open exclusively to senior pastors, campus pastors and executive pastors, is a unique gathering of church leaders who are committed to solving the biggest challenges facing your church and the Church.

Today’s third ReThink speaker was Jim Mellado.  As Compassion International’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jim has a deep love and passion for the beauty and potential of local churches fulfilling their Jesus-given mandate to redeem and restore this world for His name’s sake.  The following are 18 leadership quotes I captured during this sobering session:
