Leadership In Obscurity is a phrase that I coined 10 years ago to call the unique group of people that God is raising all over India to reach the unreached. As one reads this blog they will get to meet these unique men and women of God and get to know the great thing that God is accomplishing through them!!!
Leadership In Obscurity is a phrase that I coined 10 years ago! This came out of a Harvest Force Survey of India. I traveled the entire country during a period of 2 years and did a survey and collected 15,000 data forms. The purpose of the survey was to find out who are effective in planting Churches at the very grass root level? What are their methodology? Strategy etc., This was in order to find common denominators that will help us to formulate a National Strategy. At the end of 2 years I was at first shocked to find that there were only differences of all sorts (ethnic, lingual, regional, cultural etc.,). I was dissapointed and felt that I had wasted time and money on the survey. Very dejected I began to pray and asked the Lord to show me what to do? All of a sudden I began to see the commonality - Almost all of the very successful church planters at the grass root level were 1.Not very educated. 2. No seminary training. 3. Not know to most leadership. 4. were very independent and self motivated, 5.Poor and the list went on and on. I searched for a name to call them. They were obscure and at the same time were Leading people to Christ and planting Churches. "Leadership In Obscurity" seemed appropriate. This blog is about them my heroes of faith!!!!
