3rd RR-DLT Meeting - 23rd Nov 2008

Dennis was the first to arrive at 7pm bringing along with him his mentee Stephen. Dennis says Rick the other mentee will be coming later on his own. By 8.30pm most of the team had come and we began dinner. Felicia brought with her a bowl of ginger chicken which everyone thought was just great. Pamela made a plate of nonya kueh and Glenda brought persimmons which she said she grew in her garden. (She was joking of course). After dinner we settled in to our favorite place in the living room to watch Tim Elmore talk about ‘Pivotal Prayer.’ I had the privilege of meeting with Tim whilst he visited Malaysia to introduce 'Habitudes.' Tim is surely an anointed communicator. In Pivotal Prayer Tim gave his observations on 'How Leaders Pray.'

1. Effective leaders learn to THINK like God thinks and pray those thoughts.
2. Effective leaders pray from RELATIONSHIP, not just routine.
3. Effective leaders learn pivotal prayer as they MATURE spiritually.
4. Effective leaders recognize CRITICAL moments and pray strategically.
5. Effective leaders learn to pray UNSELFISHLY.
6. Effective leaders don't pursue eloquence, but simply CONNECT with God's heart.
7. Effective leaders learn to pray from MISSION, not maintenance.

Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18:1

There are times when WHAT we pray and HOW we pray are more critical because of WHEN we pray. The moment introduces an opportunity for significant change.

As Paul Hendricks was to return to South Africa on the 29th November we all prayed for him. Paul is a very soft spoken gentleman that came to be with us since April 08. Paul said he really had a great time here in Malaysia where he says his leadership grew by leaps and bounds.
