When lay people are empowered to seek and find a way to express their individual Christianity and share it with others, then the Body of Christ is moving out into the world and more lives are touched with grace. The business of the church is renewal, to help people recognize their gifts and use them for the good of all. Leaders have the knowledge to influence others to be involved in the mission of Jesus. Leaders are needed to create new vision. The leader is able to dream God's dreams, clearly articulate the vision to other people, formulate goals, and ultimately turn the dream into reality through the development and implementation of a strategy.
Leaders also equip people to reproduce the same effect in other's lives.
Leaders must have unlimited faith that whatever they envision can be made manifest through God's bountiful grace.
