Coaching Leaders

One of my favorite ministry activities is helping those in ministry think through their gifts and passions and find the right place at the right time. Here is an encouraging note from Angie Dexter who is a missionary in Mexico with Campus Crusade for Christ. "I happened to be in Puebla this February when Rich was doing some team building/evaluating using the Birkman with the Mexico national team. I was able to meet with him and receive some much needed direction regarding my future. Rich helped me understand why I was feeling “burned out” and ineffective in my prior job. It was a tremendous blessing and God-send for me to meet with Rich. He really understood me and gave me advice based on who I am… I’ve since decided to change ministries in Mexico and do something that’s more in line with my abilities and personality. I’m currently in Colorado and have been able to peak into Rich’s office and talk with him. I know I can trust him to give me good, solid counsel. He’s so good at ministering to people in ministry and speaking truth into our lives....Thanks Rich!"
