And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? (Joshua 5:14)
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. (1 Timothy 3:1)

The value of the servant leader to God's people

The world is in a leadership crisis, and the church needs servant-hearted leaders with integrity and spiritual maturity. Nehemiah is an example of an exceptional leader who had a firm identity, dependence on God, and dedication to guiding God's people. God cares more about a leader's spiritual maturity than their skills and abilities. The Lord uses humble, obedient, and devoted people who seek to please Him alone.

If you feel called to be a leader, examine your heart, and serve God for the sole purpose of pleasing Him alone. Read more...

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you, my LORD, because when I introduced my two daughters to you 24 years ago, you welcomed them into the palm of your hand and one of them is a leader in one of the most influential churches in my country. Receive my gratitude and adoration, LORD.
What a beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness in the lives of your daughters, Enrique.

No one is born a leader, much less within the people of God."

May the Lord continue to strengthen those who have been called to lead in his work. God bless you!
