Great Reminder from Kara Powell

Scrapping through my email I got this great reminder from Kara Powell over at Fuller Leadership Institute. She wrote:

"Recently I’ve been thinking about how much of a leader’s energy goes into 30% of the people in their community.  For a youth worker, that means you’re investing lots of energy into the 15% of your kids who are doing super great and the 15% of your kids who are really struggling. But what about that middle 70%?  Who’s investing in them?  They aren’t as high maintenance or shiny as the other 30% but they’re probably the majority of your kids. Maybe it’s time to look down the list of your kids and ask questions about each kid:

1. How is this kid doing in their journey with God?
2. How could our ministry help this kid move a bit forward?
3. What adult(s) are investing in this kid?

Let’s not ignore the vast middle…"

Loved this and I think putting feet to this and making it walk is the key.  I think everyone would agree with the post but the challenge is making this happen.
