Dr, George Wood- General council #2

Today Dr. George Wood was reelected as the general superintendent of the US Assemblies of God. I am blown away by his visionary leadership. One of his five main goals is to raise up a younger generation of leaders, which is happening. All of a sudden, most of the ministers here look younger than me! The report is that 35% of the US AG attendance is under 25, which bodes a bright future for us. He is also pushing for the aggressive planting of new churches in the US.

George gave an incredible message on “The Life of Leah” tonight. (It is probably present on the AG web site, www.ag.org, and well worth a visit). He traced her life, a life I have never heard taught or preached on. Leah dealt with rejection from her father, husband, and sister, yet was blessed by God with four sons key to the purposes of God. Dr. Wood drew from her life that we can only see the true impact of our life through the lens of eternity.
