1 John 1:3-4
We share what we
have seen and heard
so that you, too,
will be connected with us,
and become family.
Our family is united
by our connection with the Father
and his Son, Jesus.
We share our stories
so that you may share our joy.

 

THE VINEYARD INITIATIVE
Step 5 of 7: Build
DEF: To make something by putting parts together.
SYN: Assemble, Construct, Solidify

The fifth step to becoming
a leader in God’s Kingdom
is to build something that lasts.

In The Song Of The Vineyard,
after the farmer establishes his vineyard,
he builds a watchtower in the middle of it.

Something noteworthy is that the watchtower
is built with the same stones
previously removed from the land.
Therefore, each stone represents
a different lesson learned.
Leaders who take time to consider
mistakes made and hardships overcome
find themselves built up
in the strength and stability of wisdom.

Like a strong watchtower,
leaders who celebrate and share their
lessons learned carry a strong sense of peace,
safety, and perspective wherever they go.
And, because a strong watchtower
is built to hold more than one person,
leaders recognize their responsibility
to tell others what they have learned.

Every leader must
be continually building their watchtower
by learning from their experiences,
and pouring into others.

Justin Ulmer, Pastor / Photographer

Justin Ulmer, pastor of Little Flock Church in Conroe, Texas, is the founder and principal artist behind Sevenapples, a ministry in pictures devoted to sharing the truth and beauty of Jesus with the world.

Sevenapples was born during a sleepless night in 2004 as Justin found himself wrestling with the realization that he had just lost a decade of his life to alcoholism.  In that moment of despair he cried out to Jesus, and his world has never looked the same.
