Leading with Love

Throughout the Bible, we see examples of how effective leadership can transform a community. Biblical leaders like Esther, who risked her privilege and life to save her community. Peter, the rock on which Jesus chose to build his church, and taught us to draw near to our Savior even when we made mistakes. Lastly, Jesus himself, who taught the disciples that leadership requires us to serve both our enemies and loved ones.

“When communities lack leadership, their neighborhoods struggle to provide safety, their schools continually fail to provide adequate education, and their families are underserved” (Wil McCall, President and CEO of Dallas Leadership Foundation). DLF brings businesses, churches, civil services, educators, neighborhoods, and individuals together to achieve unprecedented community change. They are leveraging the leadership of many to achieve impossible good through community initiatives. 

All generations are finding and following Jesus in our city and beyond through work readiness and training programs, re-entry programs for people who were incarcerated, summer youth camps, food packing, and so many more community programs made possible by the work DLF is doing in our community.

On Sunday, Nov. 23 Highland Kids hosted The Best. Apple Cider Stand. Ever. All proceeds went go towards Dallas Leadership Foundation so they can continue the work of raising up leaders in Dallas communities. 

Anyone can be a part of sharing God’s love with others, no matter their age, experience, or resources. Visit hppres.org/serve-our-city to learn more about our local mission partners.
