Found this on Tony Morgan’s blog. Craig Groeschel wrote it and I thought it was worth passing on. Enjoy and have a great 2012!

What should leaders and/or organizations consider stop and start doing in 2012? Here are some thoughts from Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv.

“If leaders could stop doing one thing in the next year, I’d encourage them to stop making excuses. It’s so common to list all of the reasons why our ministry or organization can’t do something. I’ve found that limitations are often the greatest source of innovation. Simply shifting our mindsets from a ‘we can’t because…’ to ‘we can because…’ can make all the difference in the world. The best leaders don’t let limitations limit or confine them. Instead of feeling defeated by obstacles, these leaders are inspired to create new paths.

“If leaders would start doing one thing in the next year, I’d hope to motivate them to think infinitely bigger. It’s so easy to ask, ‘What do we think we can do?’ If we are trying to do what we think we can do, our efforts don’t require any faith. And without faith, it’s impossible to please God. Never insult God with small plans and safe living. Dream big. Then dream even bigger.” –Craig Groeschel

Steven Kaylor and I (and Joshua) had the privilege of going to New Life Fellowship in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and minister at their youth conference and their weekend services. Youth leaders and pastors came from the village churches from around the country to attend the conference. It was truly an honor to be a part of what God is doing in Cambodia.

I will be in Portland attending City Bible Church on the weekend of October 8-9 and I would love to meet with you. I will be having an Appreciation Night at City Bible Church to say thank you to everyone in person for supporting and playing a role in our church plant in Osaka. I will also be sharing how God has blessed our church plant in its first 2 years as well as our vision in reaching this metropolitan area of 18 million people with less than 1% Christianity. See you on October 9th.
