Fidelity in Leadership

"Fidelity" is a word which is out of favor in the 21st century. We know the word INfidelity a lot better. Quite sad really.
       Mr. Webster defines fidelity as: the quality or state of being faithful. Now that rings true. Faithfulness.
       This reminds of my friends Marty and Carty (pictured at right in the middle). They have served with Christian Associates in Europe for 22 years. In a few months they are moving to America.
       2-2 Y-E-A-R-S!!!! Like more than two decades.
       And ... they planted churches in Amsterdam, then Barcelona, and now in Lisbon. That's what I describe at fidelity.
      We had opportunity at Connect (Christian Associates' staff and leadership conference) to hear how God is leading Marty and Carey. We laid hands on them and prayed for them, sending them out on the next step in the journey. I could not be more thankful for these two.
       People often ask, "What is good leadership? What's it look like?"
       It looks like Marty and Carey.
