Hello Friends of Intersect!

I have a couple of butterfly bushes around my house that attract beautiful specimens like this one.  I water these bushes faithfully all summer and into the fall so they will produce life-giving nectar to these transformed butterflies.

 

That’s what happens to us when we draw near to God and taste of His goodness and blessing.  We are satisfied and fortified to live a transformed life that pleases Him.  He sets us free to live in our potential.  Like the butterfly, we are uniquely designed and strengthened like no other.  We have a calling … a pathway to live out that belongs to no one else.  

 

The Psalmist writes of God:  I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.  Psalm 81.16.   Through the ministry of Intersect, we want to be an agent that opens the door to taste the “honey” of God.  Honey is more that just a sweet tasting food.  It is one of those complete food sources that provide so many health benefits.  

 

At Intersect, we believe that the good work God began in you, He wants to complete it.  We want to partner with Him in that discovery process. 

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Lifeworkx 2024!  Last February Steve Aldrich, my long time mentor and founder of Lifeworkx, joined me in Kenya to lead 350 pastors and leaders  through the transformative leadership events we did together. 

 

We are committed to return in February 9-21, 2024.  My Leadership Team in Kenya will be hosting the 3 events in Nakuru and Nanyuki.  My team has already projected over 500 pastors and leaders who are making plans and provisions to attend.  In that mix, Steve and I will also lead a Trainer Certification course for those who want to teach Lifeworkx.

 

The projected cost for these 3 events will be $12,000 if the number stays at 500 persons.  Your financial partnership with us will enable these pastors and leaders to find freedom and equipping in their personal lives and ministry calling.  As a result of their training, they will help many more to be set free from bondage and clarify their strengths in ministry.  It truly is a self-discovery process led by the Holy Spirit who does the work of transformation.

 

Lifeworkx Locally.  I am currently leading a Maximum Leadership course for a group of young adults who want to sharpen their leadership skills in their current roles.  Already their Life Stories have been powerful and transparent.  

SPIRITUAL CONNECTIONS

Spiritual connections at Intersect are not only about engaging in those Spirit-led conversations, but also in training in how to make those transitions in normal conversations that lead to the gospel.  The International Mission Board is one of those examples.

International Mission Board.  It was a joy for me to join this group of missionary candidates preparing to go all over the world to have spiritual conversations about Jesus.  We had opportunity for real conversations that led to faith in Christ in downtown Richmond, VA.

At a community gathering to foster spiritual connections, Alisa and Jessica, wanted to talk about how God could show them their strengths and spiritual gifts.  

 

We met Michael at McDonalds who had been struggling with addiction for many years.  He made a decision to trust in Christ for salvation and deliverance from drugs.

 

A few of other spiritual conversations included …

 

  • Alyssa — eating disorders and personal health goals.

  • Houston — drug addiction and the grace of God for new beginnings.

  • Parker — coming out of an Eastern cult and finding truth in Christ.

COACHING

Coaching is about creating an environment to find a new perspective or a desired goal or some tough spot in life, and then inviting Jesus and his wisdom into the equation.  

Savannah is one who stepped into discovering her strengths and connecting those to a new career path.

 

Other coaching conversations included …

 

  • Working through executive board relationships.

  • Finding boundaries with co workers in the realm of accountability.

  • Appropriate responses to inappropriate  suggestive and sensual comments in the professional realm.

  • First year marriage priorities.

  • Working through indiscretions in the public school setting.
