The Power of Promise: Empowering Emerging Leaders
Jeremy Del Rio & Gary Frost (at Christian Cultural Center only)
Joshua’s epitaph reads: “After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel” (Judges 2:10). Unlike Moses, who groomed Joshua and others to lead in his absence, Joshua’s Generation failed to reproduce the investment. Come hear how churches can collaborate together to leave a legacy by empowering the next generation of leaders.
The Power of Intentional Leadership
Frances Hesselbein & Harry Tucker (at The Great Auditorium only)
