Rally
Day: Responses to Invitation and Leadership,
led by Joe Kennedy
The invitation has been sent to us from God. Are we willing
to cast aside our excuses and accept God’s invitation to
join Him? Spiritual leaders must learn to share what God
has revealed to them and trust that the Holy Spirit will
confirm that same vision in the hearts of their people. |
