Creating Positive Change
by Dr. Dwayne Mercer on June 10th, 2026
It's been said there are three types of leaders: risk takers, care takers, and undertakers. Few things in life are more risky or difficult than bringing about a new order of things. George Barna says, "Church growth is not so much a formula as it is a series of creative and sensitive responses to a changing environment".Most people reject change of any kind. John Maxwell said recently, "Leaders ha...  Read More

by Dr. Dwayne Mercer on June 10th, 2026
S-a spus că există trei tipuri de lideri: cei care își asumă riscuri, cei care doar întrețin lucrurile și cei care le îngroapă. Puține lucruri în viață sunt mai riscante sau mai dificile decât instaurarea unei noi ordini.

सकारात्मक बदलाव लाना
by Dr. Dwayne Mercer on June 10th, 2026
कहा जाता है कि अगुवे तीन प्रकार के होते हैं: जोखिम लेने वाले (risk takers), देखभाल करने वाले (care takers), और कफन-दफन करने वाले (undertakers)। जीवन में चीजों की एक नई व्यवस्था लाने से ज्यादा जोखिम भरा या कठिन कुछ ही चीजें हैं। जॉर्ज बार्ना कहते हैं, "कलीसिया का विकास कोई फार्मूला नहीं है, बल्कि यह बदलते परिवेश के प्रति रचनात्मक और संवेदनशील प्रतिक्रियाओं की एक श्रृंखला है।"ज्यादातर लोग किसी भी तर...  Read More

إحداث تغيير إيجابي
by Dr. Dwayne Mercer on June 10th, 2026
