As we head into GLS season...

The first GLS is only 4 days away. On September 21-22, our friends in Singapore will start what promises to be a fall of changed lives, inspired leaders and spirit-filled promptings at our 159 sites across the globe. Our teams are entering the last push of preparation, with emails flying, last minute details being attended to, and long, hard hours being worked. All will be ready when the time comes. As we draw closer, we wanted to leave you with this thought:

Imagine the effect of the Summit on one leader.

Picture a leader working in an impoverished city, with corrupted governments to contend with, few resources for the ideas he wants to implement, and even fewer tools to help him realize the vision God put in his heart. This leader is without hope. Hard years have taken their toll. His thoughts fixate on giving up. This same weary leader, if given the opportunity to attend the Summit, leaves with God placing a new energy in his soul. Fresh strategies for his ministry and tools to implement them. New vision to revitalize his tired congregation. Fresh eyes with which to view the same circumstance. Such life breathed into a leader can change the game.

We hear this same story over and over again. A leader about to give up, tired, war-weary, and without hope, comes to the Summit. And all that changes. Imagine the potential with the 60,000 such leaders we will reach this year.

Now you can see why we can't wait.
