Over the next two days, INJOY Stewardship Solutions has dispatched me to attend the Southern Baptist Convention. My objective here is to bring you the top leadership lessons and quotes from the event.
Before getting to the content, I want to make you aware that this Thursday, June 17th at 11:00 AM EST my friends Joe Sangl and Michael Lukaszewski are hosting a FREE webinar entitled How Pastors Can Earn Extra Money. Currently over 700 pastors are signed up!!! This webinar is for pastors or church leaders looking to make more money on the side and have multiple streams of revenue while still serving their churches. This teaching will help you relieve stress and focus more on your calling. Click HERE to register.
The most impactful session I have attended thus far (I am bypassing the business portions) was Johnny Hunt’s report to the convention on evangelism. The following 11 leadership quotes and lessons from his session:
- “Everything we do at the North American Mission Board is about the Gospel.”
- “Today we have 12 times as many people, 37,280 who have headed the call to lead their One to Christ.”
- “Over 13,000 have attended the Who’s Your One Sunday night events.”
- “Have you identified your One? Have you been praying for your One and sharing with them?”
- “92 people knocked on doors in this community this week. 176 people prayed to received Christ as their Lord and Savior.”
- “Every generation is less likely to attend church than their parents did.”
- “47% of Christian millennials believe evangelism is morally wrong.”
- “College campuses in our country are a mission field.”
- “There are 21 million college students in North America and only 5% are reached.”
- “Pastors, you can delegate a lot to your staff. You can’t delegate evangelism. We must lead out.”
- “I’m grateful of the Christ-honoring leadership of our (NAMB) president Kevin Ezell.”
More from the convention’s president J.D. Greear coming up.
