Servanthood is more than just a buzz word for Gibson. Those values have led World Servants to collaborate and partner with organizations and denominations throughout the world. For example, a class of about 25 Appalachian community leaders recently completed the World Servants leadership training program through a partnership with World Vision and Appalachia Community Cares. The program is now offered for credit through Indiana Wesleyan University's Center for Leadership Development. Gibson's missions involvement has been a family affair.
People learn how to be servants, and that servanthood is the biblical paradigm for leadership.
When the trip is done and everyone jumps back into their familiar routines, the work of Jesus Christ is far from over. There is still so much to be done to continue the work that was begun on the mission field. Getting the chance to participate as people discover God in their lives is like watching a little bit of heaven take place on earth.
