Fostering Leadership through Intergenerational Discipleship

The sixth day of the Fourth Lausanne Congress in Incheon, South Korea, focused on leadership and the importance of intergenerational discipleship.

My encouragement to senior leaders in the room is this – we need you. It is impossible for this emerging generation to fulfil the call of God without experienced leaders who are willing to be a shade over our boldness and who will intercede for our healing.
