He\u2019s been around already since the beginning of the LD programme. The first time we heard him speak two years ago, he read his lines from paper, and even then he was very hard to understand because of his poor English language. This time, he was able to speak more freely, to share more of his heart. <br \/>His topic was: how to capture the commitment and imagination of people. He had four basic requirements to do so:<br \/>1 <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">have people<\/span> \u2013 focus our time, life, efforts, priorities on people, by commitment, sacrifice and service.<br \/>2 <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">your own life<\/span> \u2013 it is the best tool to capture people. People followed Jesus because of what they saw in Him. What do you think people see when they look at you?<br \/>3 <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">the atmosphere you create<\/span> \u2013 an environment with people that are well on their way with the previous two requirements. People make commitment with committed leaders! On top of that: a contagious vision and a role to carry out. Both are needed! A vision without a clear role to make it happen is not enough, and also a job to do without the bigger challenging picture will not capture people.<br \/>4 <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">God\u2019s sovereignty<\/span> \u2013 trust Him that He will do his part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally the great little man arrived: Javier Garcia, the coming European Director.
