Recap of EGC's Intercultural Leadership Consultation (Oct. 20, 2007)

Submitted by EvanDonovan on Thu, 10/25/2007 - 14:32.

Last Saturday, the EGC held its second Intercultural Leadership Consultation. It was a tremendous opportunity for the various "streams" of ministry in the city of Boston to come together and praise the Lord for the work He is doing in the "Quiet Revival", while learning from each other.

Dr. Elijah Kim, of EGC's Vitality Project, also spoke at the conference. In this clip, he describes how God called him from his ministry in the Philippines to encourage the spread of revival in Boston.

Here are some quotes that stuck out in my mind, which to me capture the purpose and tone of the conference:

From the Leadership Session: "Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, 'It is a dangerous thing for a preacher to experience success too early.' And that was my experience. So the Lord decided that my wife and I needed to go to school. We spent the next few years in the school of Baca, the valley of weeping."

From the Youth Ministry Session: "Teaching creates a space where obedience to truth is possible."

From the Going Deeper session on Social Justice: "The people of my generation are not looking for programs, but for role models."

Everyone who attended the conference received a copy of the New England Book of Acts, a guide to the past, present, and future of missions and ministry in Boston, compiled as a collaboration between the staff of EGC and Boston-area churches representing diverse people groups. The 2007 version is not available online, but the 2002 Boston's Book of Acts can be downloaded from EGC's site.
