Wise and effective leaders
(and
teams) have always benefited from coaching from a variety of means (e.g.;
counselors, mentors, advisers, pastor/teachers, trainers, etc., see Gen.
41:12-39; Ex. 18:14-24; 1 Sam. 15:31-37; l Kgs. 12:6-16; Acts 18:24-26;
27:31-44). In fact, the value and worth of good coaching is proverbial-."The
way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he that hearkens to counsel is
wise" (Prov.12:15, see also 13:10; 20:18-19; 27:9).
Leadership is a calling. It
demands decisiveness amidst ambiguity. While remaining "above reproach" (I Tim. 3:2), the leader
is expected to achieve certain accomplishments, results and measurable
growth according to a bottom line which
is
often unclear. Consequently, leaders are falling prey to burnout and moral failure at an
increasing rate. Many are
leaving the leadership ranks altogether.
This trend will be reversed as leaders take initiative to partner
with godly, qualified coaches.
Learning to Lead
In 1979, God called Sam to provide leadership for
Chosen
People Ministries (CPM). First,
as CPM's New York City Director, Sam
mobilized the staff to engage in team-oriented outreach that was bold,
creative, and culturally relevant. This
served to enhance the ministry's local profile and evangelistic
productivity.
The following year,
as Northeast Regional
Director for CPM, Sam witnessed the Lord's
blessing through an increase of staff and financial support. Convinced that The
Great Commission is not only evangelism, but evangelism that produces
discipled
believers, Sam began personally planting as well as
supervising the planting of several Messianic congregations in the
Northeastern US. As God's grace
became evident, Sam was then asked to lead the worldwide organization. In
1989 as
President
of CPM, Sam
brought new strategic intent to the global work.
With The Great Commission as his objective, Sam launched the
century-old Jewish ministry in a new strategic direction: the planting of
Messianic congregations among the Jewish people. Again the Lord blessed, providing a larger operating budget and the
establishment of new ministries in twice as many countries
as before. Sam's passion and burden to help Messianic leaders was the impetus the Lord used to establish Word of Messiah Ministries in 1996.
