Wednesday - Leaders Corner - Adapt

Air Dancer from Convention

Luke 9:13 - Jesus replied, 'You give them something to eat.'

Leaders need to know how to adapt in challenging situations. The disciples had to think of a way to feed thousands of people when they didn't have any food.

Recently, Cindy Holbrook in Lexington was faced with a challenge. I awarded her a BGMC T-shirt on our Missions Bike Ride at Camp Lex. Unfortunately, the shirt was a kids size. So, she had to adapt.

She made a challenge to the kids in her church that whoever could bring in the most money in a two month time period would win the shirt. The students gave and gave, and altogether they brought in $167 for BGMC! That's a pretty valuable shirt, and a creative way to face a challenging situation. Way to go Cindy
