How to Prepare for Franciscan LEAD

  1.      Daily Prayer

“Not by might, not by power but by my spirit says the Lord”( Zech. 4:6). Start by praying at least 10 minutes daily for your time with Franciscan LEAD. Find 10 people who will pray for you daily during your Franciscan LEAD week.

  1.       Prepare your mind

It is important that the Word of God is in our hearts and on our lips. Please memorize the Scripture verses below before arriving at your LEAD week.

  1.       Attitude is Everything

Being a leader includes leading by word and deed. The example you set and the words you use will have a huge impact. Start preparing now by focusing on Jesus in the midst of the good times and the hard times of your daily life.
