Have you ever been shocked to find out something about a person you would have never imagined?
It was the first time I had met him. Prior to having coffee with him, just three weeks ago, I was eagerly looking forward to our conversation.
For two years I had heard glowing reports from many about what an outstanding Christian Business person he was. I had heard of his commitment to his local church and of the many good things he does for those in his company and community.
During the course of sipping coffee and enjoying some casual conversation, God’s Spirit moved our discussion deeper.
My new friend lowered the protective casing of his heart enough to reveal some huge hurts and life disappointments he had been experiencing. Then, he openly revealed a reality I never would have never guessed:
“I know I have not received Jesus as my Savior.”
My initial shock quickly subsided and instead I sensed God’s power and peace. I realized God had opened a portal into hallowed territory and was able to share the liberating and life-giving truth of the simple gospel message.
My friend, this is the a huge piece of what Kingdom Way Ministries is all about. This Tipping Points blog you receive in your inbox–which I hope has been of help to you in your faith, work and leadership–is just the “tip of the iceberg” in what God is doing to transform the lives of individuals and communities.
KWM is very much about introducing people to the Hope of the world, the Healer of hurts, the Helper who provides purpose for our walk and work.
It is about equipping such ones to follow Christ fully and leverage their leadership influence to reach and develop others, both in their sphere of influence (their workplaces & churches) and around the world.
In this blog, I would like to share with you some of the remarkable ways the Lord has enabled KWM to do so in the last year, and some of the future initiatives and goals for 2017 God is leading us to, that I hope God will use to stir and inspire you to be more proactively a part of.
