Mature Christian leaders are continually being formed by Christ. They recognize that growth is not a destination but a lifelong journey. We are called to guide others according to God’s purposes and methods, so let’s take a Biblical route through the essential traits that define our calling to leadership. bit.ly/4yMlsMe

"We were created to be filled up on the love and worship of Jesus Christ. Unless we behold Him, we'll always end up empty and unsatisfied." - Ruth Chou Simons

Leadership Lab is an online course for ministry leaders that integrates faith, character, and mission into leadership. While traditional approaches focus on skills, Leadership Lab immerses participants in scripture and Jesus' ministry approach. Drawing from over 40 years of ministry across diverse contexts, this course will help you tackle challenges typical leadership resources overlook. Registration is open now, and you can use the code 2027Spring for $50 off! bit.ly/4e30LUV So don't miss out!

Have you looked at this coming year's internship openings yet? (serge.org/internship) You could spend eight weeks in the summer serving overseas through hands-on missions work, all while growing in the gospel—so don't miss the opportunity! If you want to hear a little more about what it's like to be a Serge intern, check out season 8 episode 3 of our 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘺 podcast, where interns Alyssa, Grant, and John share how grief, loneliness, cultural discomfort, and the exposure of their own heart idols became invitations to deeper dependence on Christ.

Will we see you at GMHC? We hope you'll join us for several sessions led by Serge medical missionaries! Hear from experienced medical professionals serving cross-culturally as they share insights, challenges, and opportunities from their work in global missions. Discover how faith and medicine intersect and what it looks like to use your medical skills to serve communities around the world. We'd love to see you there! Learn more about the sessions at serge.org/gmhc @GlobalMissions #gmhc2026 #medicalmissions #globalhealth #graceatthefray

Have you ever put pressure on yourself to "evangelize perfectly"? The truth that we often struggle to accept is that the Holy Spirit works through ordinary people to perform acts of extraordinary grace, it's not about our "qualifications" at all.  Talking about this and more, pastor and author Iain Duguid returns to our 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘺 podcast. Dive in with him and Jim to consider how the same Holy Spirit who sent the first missionaries continues to work through ordinary believers, inviting us to share the hope of Jesus wherever He has placed us. bit.ly/4iAozC7 @jim_lovelady

"Sanctification is about a story—about the Holy Spirit’s work in and through (and yes, in cooperation with) broken vessels, best told in the rich, visual language of biblical narratives." — Leopoldo A. Sanchez M.

In Issue #3 of our Story Roundup (threads, scraps, and snapshots of cross-cultural ministry from our missionaries across the globe), we are excited to share recaps of our interns’ experiences around the world this summer! This article features quick glimpses into many different types of reaching, renewing, and restoring done across many different fields this summer, so make sure to check it out. bit.ly/4zDPGlF

"Christianity could be described as 'The World's Most Amazing Tragedy.' A tragedy played out on the world's stage, with a growing cast but also with a growing group of critics. But unlike a tragedy, this one ends in glory. The gospel and Jesus's church continue to travel, to show up, to spread, to change lives. But the basic script stays the same as the one in the closing chapters of Acts. It is the blueprint of world redemption, and it happens by God's good providence, at great expense to God's people, and with glorious results of eternal life for all who believe."  - Howard Brown in "Acts: The Power That Changes the World"  @newgrowthpress

"Feeling lonely and estranged from one’s own community is increasingly common. My time in the mission field changed my perspective." Make sure to check out Serge missionary Eric McLaughlin's new article in Christianity Today called "Why Do I Feel Homesick in My Own Home?" bit.ly/4zBcylD

What does gospel-driven leadership look like to you? Leadership can be lonely, demanding, and full of pressure to perform. But what if leading well begins not with becoming stronger, but with depending more deeply on Jesus? Pastors Tony Giles, who leads Serge’s Leadership Lab, and Clint Dowda, a recent participant, join Jim Lovelady on today's episode of our 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘺 podcast to explore how the gospel frees leaders from having to prove themselves or have all the answers. Listen to it today! bit.ly/3TOTdOM @jim_lovelady
