Answering the Call

BRYAN LONG, DIRECTOR OF CHURCH MULTIPLICATION

A few weeks ago, we had the absolute pleasure of taking 12 young kingdom leaders and their spouses through our assessment program called “The Call.” This is a two-day cohort experience that helps candidates discern their “fit and flourish” in ministry. We all have a “sweet spot” where we’re at your best. We want to help you find it so that you can give your best time and energy to the Kingdom.

These leaders came from all over – New England, Detroit, Baltimore, Texas. They had different backgrounds and experiences. The first night assessed an ability to share your story and cast vision. We heard about upbringings in foster care, debilitating accidents, trauma, ministry adversity…

…and yet, God has done mighty works in their lives. Someone must have been cutting an onion in the room.

The second day was spent interviewing each candidate on specific qualities that have been shown to corelate with fruitful church planting and revitalization. With so many getting assessed, it was a bit of a speed dating situation, but we made it happen! A special thanks to Brandon Goad, Paul McPheeters, Jonathan Romig, David Bodanza and Jon Bryant for serving over the weekend.

I’ll close with what one participant had to say:

“Great to spend time with you this weekend! Definitely beneficial for the future of everyone’s ministry. We were very blessed.”

While they may have been encouraged, the rest of us were the ones truly blessed to see what the future holds for the Nineveh Network.
