“…The Harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: you pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His Harvest.” – Luke 10:2
There is not one organization that has too many positive effective leaders. This is especially true in the Body of Christ. The Church needs positive effective Christian leaders who are willing to obey God and live out His commands for the entire world to see. This creates a tension between the lost and the found, between the light and the darkness, that causes those we come in contact with to be faced with the question of the way that they take. Is their way the best way or is their another way that leads to outcomes that are more profitable. It is these positive effective Christian leaders that lead the charge for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the earth realm as they are empowered by and submitted to the power and authority of God that is revealed in and through God The Holy Spirit.
