Spiritual Leadership

We, as individuals, as believers, as faithful stewards, and as team members are said to be “spiritual leaders.” We are called to BECOME spiritual leaders. But taking it to the next level, Deaf Café itself is called to be a “Spiritual Leader.”

In his book, “The Spiritual Leader,” (Striving Together Publications, Lancaster, CA, 2008) author Paul Chappell says that many churches, organizations, and fellowships have drifted from the primary goal of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “In fact, it seems in this “grace gone wild” age, man have opened the front doors of the church to all the trends of the world merely to attract visitors. Quite literally, the world is evangelizing the church. When we attempt to please the world we become just like the world. Yet, when God’s Spirit is in control of our lives and leadership, there will be a noticeable direction away from sin – both privately and publicly, at home and at church.” (Chappell p.20)

Deaf Café and its team members have endured trials, trouble, troublemakers, temptation, criticism, jealousy, and many other attacks on our central mission. Our central mission is the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to present God’s plan of salvation and eternal life to the Deaf in OUR community.

It is an blessing for us for God to trust us with this mission. Deaf Café is a SPIRITUAL LEADER in our community. We seek to evangelize the lost and seek God’s plan and control in all we do. In this way we exalt God, glorify Him, and lift Him high above all others. The Holy Spirit has placed us together as the Deaf Cafe team and is right now preparing others who are willing to serve when the need and availability arises as well as right now preparing others who need to experience the message of Deaf Café seeking the message of Salvation. The Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us to establish God’s message for His glory.
