Missional Leadership by Ed Stetzer

This is an amazing video from Ed Stetzer entitle “Missional Leadership”.  He was doing a one day seminar for pastors at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Prior to this video, he taught this same topic in Oklahoma.  If you would like more information about Ed’s One day seminar, you can find it at the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma.

This video conveys a real message for the need of missional leaders in the church.  We are all called to be on mission for God when we accept Christ as our saviour and it is the responsibility of the church to continue the race that so many have already run.  Remember missions is not just a place on the map, but right where you are today.

“I have but one passion – it is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.”
Count Zinzindorf
