Multiplying Servant Leaders

I love Jesus’ examples to us of Servant Leadership.  He willingly gets down on his knees and washes feet, welcomes children, touches hurting people and serves humankind with humility.  I was honored to be asked by my friend Logan to speak to the Leadership class at University High School.  I couldn’t help but speak about Servant Leadership.   The students shared their stories of people in their lives that have demonstrated Servant Leadership to them.  They told of brothers and sisters that had cared for one another when no one else seemed to care.  They spoke of grandparents that loved without conditions.  They shared about friends that were there for them in times of hurt and need.  They pointed to teachers that gave more than expected.  They pointed to Servant Leaders all around them.

God blessed me to be a part of Redeemer’s $20 Project.  I was able to give the students that shared their stories of Servant Leadership gift certificates to Subway, Starbucks or Cold Stone Creamery with the agreement that they would take the person who demonstrated servant leadership to them out for a treat and tell them how valued they are to them.  Jesus’ example of Servant Leadership is multiplying throughout the Spokane Valley.
