Facing The Unexpected ... Already!

A Tribute to the late Dr. Myles Munroe


"Leadership is a Relay and not a Sprint, and The most important part of a Relay Race is not the Running, but the Passing of the Baton. " 
Dr. Myles Munroe


I am praying both with and for you AND myself on today as I join many around the world in grieving the loss of and thanking God for the gracious gifts He loaned this world, in the persons of the late Dr. Myles Munroe and his beautiful bride of 35 years. 


God greatly used this mighty Man and Woman of God in my life for many years to help develop and expand my thought processes in terms of my personal service to God as a Missionary of Development.

Because God was able to trust the Munroes with "blooming where they had been planted," many leaders have been developed worldwide, and Jon and I are even the more committed to "Cultivating Passionate Servant Leaders for Jesus among the Deaf, Youth and Families," as this is where we have been planted. But today the question is, can God trust YOU to bloom where you have been planted? 









On that note, I'd like to share a few thoughts with you that are designed to challenge YOU to 
"Get on Your mark, Get set and Go" after whatever God has called you to. 
Keeping in mind the fact that "God has NOT given You a spirit of fear." 
See 2 Timothy 1:7 

This fearless verse is also one of the 5 Fearless Scripture Song verses we have recorded on CD for this Mission possible Tour. We have over 100 copies of this professionally recorded CD to share with others  in the next few weeks. Your gifts to the ministry of God's Hands Agency helped made this happen. 

Remember that "Leadership is a Relay and not a Sprint, and The most important part of a Relay Race is not the Running, but the Passing of the Baton." 
Dr. Myles Munroe - 2014 


The Visual Object Lesson here is ... 
a picture of the Relay Runner and the Race ... 

As a Runner, you are to run not looking back, but rather BE in position to receive, with your hand strategically opened up behind you, this is the position of expectancy. You, the runner must come to the race expecting to receive the baton. 

As a Passionate Servant Leader, you must be willing to pass the Baton forward.  You can't keep the Baton AND pass the Baton, just like moma use to say, "you can't have your cake AND eat it too." Leaders don't hold on to the baton, they strategically let it go ... as you are too much weight for the Runner to have to drag along or carry, so know when to pass the baton. In the interim be willing to schedule and show up for practice runs. 

And whatever you do, please don't die with the Baton. Seek out some younger person, somebody from the next generation to mentor into being BETTER than you. This could be your child, a nephew, niece, neighbor, foster child, grandchild, etc.. Seek someone to be the recipient of you. "Paying it Forward!" 




The above were just a few personal thoughts I had that were inspired by Dr. Myles Monroe after listening to him speak at The 2014 World Legacy Conference in Orlando

You can watch this most powerful video on You Tube or check out my personal FaceBook Page. 


Dear God, 
We honor You and Thank You for Your love, Your care and Your concern for each of us. Thank You for the gift of salvation by which the born again Believer inherits eternity with you in Heaven where there is no more death, sickness, disease, or suffering. This is oh such Good News Father God, especially in times like these. So, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Father God, and Thank You for Jesus. 

Thank You for caring enough to save me and all of my sisters and brothers in Christ, to include Dr. Myles Munroe, his wife and the others that met You face to face after such a tragic accident on yesterday. Father, because I once was lost, but am now found, was blind but now I see, my heart bleeds for family, friends and even foe who don't know you in the pardon of their sin. 

God, I also thank You for Your WORD, which teaches us in complete and accurate detail how You feel towards those that are yet lost, enemies of The Cross, and those of us who understand and embrace Your clear command for us to Go, Teach and Baptize according to Your Word in Matthew 28:19,20. 

So, Dear God, as we humbly bow the knee in awe of You, we're asking You to draw each of us, nearer blessed Lord, to The Cross where You died. Help us to see You for who You are, so that we can ALL BE better concerning being about Your business  ... until You call us Home. 

In the interim we ask that You, The God of ALL comfort give Your peace to the Munroe family, Church family and friends, like only You can Father according to 2 Corithians 1. And bless all the others we should pray for, bless them in the manner that You know they stand in need of today. 

Dear God, we are both thanking and praising You in advance for Your perfect answer to our prayer. 
And, it's in Jesus' name that we pray, thank God, and  say Amen! 



And now one last thing. As Jon and I Pray while Purposefully Pedaling the 500 miles, to include the 7 mile bridge, back to Orlando from Key West starting on tomorrow, will you PLEASE consider Praying, Pledging and Paying forward the ability for us to provide the Leadership training programs of God's Hands Agency in 2015? 



The Mission Is Possible you know. And this is what it can look like in dollars and cents for you. 

$0.02 per mile = $10
$0.10 per mile = $50
$0.25 per mile = $125
$0.50 per mile = $250 
$0.75 per mile = $375
$1.00 per mile = $500

Or, you decide the amount you'd like to give. Just know that your gifts will help make GHA's Leadership Development programs among the Deaf, Youth and Families possible in 2015.
