7. What would you share with young leaders who are interested in launching prayer movements in other parts of the world?

Just do it! You’ve got one life to live. I often think of an awesome quote by a woman named Joan of Arc, who turned a nation through faith and out of the power of being led by God’s voice.

Steve Jobs (Feb 24, 1955 – Oct 5, 2011)

I’ve never owned any Apple product. Ever. Not even an iPod nano. I am not sure if I will ever join their consumer’s club.

b. This, of course, depends on several factors like discipline, teachability, focus, call of God etc.

What to Look For

I’ve narrowed my focus in choosing a Mentee to a specific spiritual gifting. I chose Evangelists. I’ve made it my specialty because I believe it is one of the most neglected giftings. I think of “the gift of the Evangelist” as the “birthing mechanism” of the Church, and if I was the devil, I would kill and destroy it. That is why there are so few, real, pure evangelists.
