Five Traits of Real Leaders: Rick & Kay Warren - Global Summit on AIDS & the Church
This is the first day of the Global Summit on AIDS & The Church here at Saddelback Church. Here are my notes from the first session. The first session was centered on what it takes to have the “Traits of a Real Leader.” Both Rick and Kay Warren spoke during the session, but my favorite section was when Kay spoke on what it means to be a Leader and an Advocate.
Here are a couple notes from that point:
Real Leaders are Advocates
- “God does hear the cries of the needy.” - Kay Warren
- There are nearly 40 Million people who have AIDS.
- There are 12 Million children who have been orphaned because of AIDS.
- You are going to be faced with a moment when you are going to decided to be an advocate or not - whether the information and new reality you see will stir you to take action.
- You are either in or you are out. You will either use the influence you have to be a voice and support on behalf of people suffering from the AIDS pandemic, or you won’t.
- You do have influence, You do have freedom, You do have a voice, and you can lift it on behalf of the sick, the poor, and the orphan.
- Your advocacy will lead you to be an Activist!
- Intentional Action to bring about change.
- Your emotions must translate into action.
The Global Summit on AIDS & The Church at Saddleback Church, is hosted by Rick and Kay Warren. I will be live blogging and video blogging my experience here at the Summit over the next couple of days.
