This is Leader Retreat week at iGo. On Thursday evening and Friday morning we will spend time strengthening partnerships as some of our M friends visit iGosia. On Friday evening and Saturday morning we get to invest in the team leaders that have agreed to serve this summer. The retreat ends with Saturday evening and Sunday morning spent with the 2012 JSI’s as they prepare for their overseas leadership internship. 2012 Jimmy will also make their debut this weekend.

In many ways, this weekend is the harbinger for the summer. It plunges us into full summer preparation mode by calling, “The Tourists are Coming! The Tourists are Coming!” Too bad we missed the whole 1 if by land, 2 if by sea thing.

But before they arrive, we must be ready to lead them. Will you join us in praying that Father will get us ready? Maybe you could set aside a few minutes each day during your lunch hour to pray for iGo, the M’s, the team leaders, JSI’s and Jimmy? At Noon (Central iGosian time) each day this week we will post a Leadership Lesson for Lunch . Read it, share it with your friends, comment on it, and pray.

These Leadership Lessons are geared towards team leaders and JSI’s. However, you will quickly see that the lessons can be applied to almost any leadership setting. No matter your level of influence, we are sure you will find some help along the way this week.

So, it’s official. We have a lunch appointment every day this week. Let’s meet  here and enjoy the Leadership Lessons with a healthy side of iGosian cucumbers and tomatoes. The first one will go live today at 12:00. See you then.
