Leader formation is the process God uses to
transform us from being self-centered leaders
to God-centered leaders.
28
That process includes both sovereign and human
means.

As Gods human agents, we develop the knowledge,
skills and character of those He is transforming
through us.

We respond to Gods initiative by helping those
we serve understand what God is going how it
transforms them how they can grow by trusting
Him
