98. What could you stop doing?
Think back to when you started to learn to drive. There were so many things to learn and remember.

97. Why do people leave teams?
There have been a number of key studies into the reasons missionaries leave the field, and the answers are wide and varied. The world evangelical alliance came out with a key research project 20 years ago that found the number one reason was conflict with peers. Is that still the same today? Well, I don’t Read more about 97. Why do people leave teams?[…]
96. Do you have a seat at the table?
As a young child, I was brought up to always eat my meals around the table and on Sundays and special occasions I would often help in setting the table. I have always enjoyed the aesthetics of a beautifully ordained table, almost as much as eating the flavourful food on it. But tables are more Read more about 96. Do you have a seat at the table?[…]
95. What’s your rule of life?
There is a rediscovery going on in recent times, where we have come to recognise that over the centuries there have been some very godly men and women who have had a lot of wonderful things to share.

At the end of every year, we have an evaluation time as a couple.

A couple of years ago, we were Read more about 94. Where are you going?[…]
93. Been pruned lately?
I came home after a two month trip away to find that the large carob tree in our prayer garden had been massacred by our gardeners. It looked so ugly with a pile of branches scattering the garden below. The gardeners called It pruning and said that now the tree could become healthy again. What Read more about 93.

92. Are you lonely as a leader?
I was caring for my 94 year old mother in Wales at the end of last year for a month. My Dad died some thirteen years ago and since that time, I have often heard my mum say that she is ‘lonely’. After 55 years of marriage with hardly any separation during all those years, Read more about 92. Are you lonely as a leader?[…]
91. What quotes impact you as a leader?
The above picture is the amphitheatre in ancient Ephesus. Leaders throughout the ages have shared good principles that have developed from their experience that we would do well to take note of and remember. Here are a few quotes that have the power to impact our lives. Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. Read more about 91. What quotes impact you as a leader?[…]
90. What legacy are you leaving?
Max de Pree, says, ‘I wish that at a younger stage of life leaders would know in their hearts, that what they’re figuratively ready to die for is going to change.’ Rite and I have just completed a two-day process of discernment facilitated by friends of another mission organisation, along with some of our YWAM Read more about 90. What legacy are you leaving?[…]
89. Charismatic or humble leader?
There have been various studies carried out to compare these two qualities of charisma and humility. However, it’s not a question of ‘Am I this or am I that’, the issue is, ‘How do I glorify God in the best way possible with who I am?’ We are probably aware of our level of charisma: Read more about 89.
