Building Servant Leaders

....that is the motto/mission statement of the school. The premise is based on a principle from scripture where Jesus who was the leader led by serving and by example. Some times I am so taken back by students who seem much like typical teenagers but have not been spoiled by the American culture..... They are often so willing to sacrifice for "a brother" or "sister" in their God family. Sometimes I wonder - who is teaching whom to be Servant Leaders?

On Saturday a bunch of students were doing yard work on campus when I was pulling out to do an errand. They noticed my tire was flat and they flagged me down and stopped me. I pulled back into campus and before I could ask two students were there to help me put on my spare donut tire...... I was extremely grateful..... and felt very blessed. That day I experienced Jesus love through them...... and was also convicted about my attitude which is not always so giving.
