The Leadership Working Group for the Lausanne Movement met last month in Seoul, Korea along with many others, to plan for the 2010 Lausanne Congress. The topic was a paper titled Defining Christ-like Leadership and Describing Best Practices in Leadership Development submitted by DAI President Jane Overstreet. The paper is based on a 2008 leadership study completed by more than 1000 Christian leaders in 5 languages.

The research reveals a great deal about the current state of leadership in the global body of Christ, shedding light on the shape of Christ-like leadership, why leaders fail, and how to better prepare leaders for their calling. Among other things, the survey shows the critical need for leadership training in the areas of integrity and servant leadership.

The Leadership Working Group is currently editing the paper for presentation at the 2010 Congress. Pray that the information presented at the 2010 Congress will help those attending to take strategic action so that our common goal may be fulfilled: The Whole Church taking the Whole Gospel to the Whole World.
