I have experienced two moves of God in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in my lifetime. Both of them were led by young people. The first was an overflow from the Jesus movement in the late 1960s, the 1970s, and the early 1980s. Youth-led Bible studies sprang up all over our county. Then in the late 1990s through the early 2000s, TBS (Tuesday Night Bible Study) started in our county. Over one thousand youth and young adults met every Tuesday night, led by young men and women who were sold out to the Lord. Multiplied thousands of lives were changed by the Lord during this season of time.
I noticed an amazing difference in these two revival eras. The young leaders of the first move of God had very few spiritual fathers and mothers. However, during the second, there were many more spiritual fathers and mothers involved. I believe the second move of God had a greater impact due to the spiritual fathers and mothers who were willing to serve these young leaders. At the same time, there was a sense of humility among the young leaders. They were open and receptive to what the older generation had to offer. The result is thousands and thousands of believers who are faithfully serving in churches, ministries, and businesses all over our region, along with a whole host of missionaries who have been sent to the nations.
Regardless of the generation you find yourself in, we are called to honor and encourage and learn from each other: the young, the old and those in-between—together!

We often think of generosity as a simple transaction, a one-time event sparked by a need. But what if it’s something far deeper? What if it’s not just a hallmark of a good person, but a fundamental principle of a truly abundant life, a key to unlocking a reality that is so counter-intuitive it feels like an upside-down kingdom? It’s a principle that suggests the secret to having more isn’t found in holding on tighter, but in opening our hands.

Most leaders are familiar with the love chapter in the Bible. The Greek word for love in this chapter is agape, a love which gives with no expectation of return. The agape love test for leaders is often our temptation to favor certain people because of their influence or for what they can do for us.
A true leader’s main goal is not to preserve life or position; it is to advance the Kingdom of God. It is not the building of our business or our own ministry that should consume us; it is advancing God’s Kingdom.
