Last Wednesday we had a very good monthly Pioneer
workers meeting. The subject was Encouragement in
the local church. We were all encouraged. Also we heard the question:
What do you have in your hand?
To be a leader in Isaan and in south Laos is not easy. Many are struggling. There are many children and old
people to take care of.
We are all leaders in different capacity. To my
understanding there are two main groups of Leaders….everywhere:
Type 2. Leaders. The leaders up there trying
to make formulas, systems, laws and they take good decisions so the people down here can live in peace. The main challenge for these leaders is how to overcome
other leaders By the help of ordinary people they can stay in power… up there.
Type 1. Leaders. The leader building up from below living with the ordinary
people.
Thes leaders have an open heart serving the ordinary people and
together with them go up together. Lifting up the weak. 
Jesus shows how to come down, be humble and be a
servant leader. He was a true Type 1. Leader.
"God help us all to lift up other".
