Lessons From Bootcamp – Part 1

Last week turned out to be one of the most influential weeks of my life. I attended a Church Leadership Bootcamp with my wife which has impacted my life and I want to share with you what I discovered.

Therefore, this week I am going to blog everyday on a different way my life was impacted. So here’s impact number one….

1. God Uses All Types Of People

So you may say, yes Alex, I know that! However, for me it was not till last week I realized how true this actually was. I few weeks ago I wrote a post titled, Jack In A Box. This was a post about how we like to put people in a box depending on their personality, background and talents. I hate being put in a box and last week I had one of those refreshing moments when I saw people from all walks of life, all with a different story and very different personalities pursuing a vision God had put on their lives.

The amazing thing I discovered was that we were all pursuing a similar vision, yet most of those people would not fit in the so-called ‘Church Pioneer’ box, yet they were pursuing it!

I realized that my story is unlike anyone else’s story and even though most people have a very different story from mine, God can use anyone if they are willing despite how sad some peoples story actually are.

I was encouraged to see who were people neglected at birth, people who had once fallen in drugs, who at one time had landed on the wrong side of the law and people who once were involved in things that almost led to their destruction now be radically changed and pursuing a dream that this world would say never could become a reality!

God uses all types of people and God wants to use you and me in ways we could never imagine! Pursue your dream, let God take control and be amazed at what you see!
