LEADER OF THE MONTH

Last Fall, the ASAPH administration began a program of encouragement for the young leaders who are developing at ASAPH. Andy, WEC, and Shelterline meet each month to select one leader among the teachers, coaches and committee members from across all of ASAPH's branches of ministry. That "Leader Of The Month" is evaluated according to three criteria...

1. Maturity (faithfulness, ponctuality, honesty...). 
2. Relationships with others (administration, students, fellow leaders...).
3. Accomplishments (successfully leading programs, progress...).

Our first Leader Of The Month was Mackendy. The ASAPH Bible Academy celebrated the Bible in a major program on Reformation Sunday. Mackendy led that successful celebration which will be an annual event. Teddy, Assistant Director of the ASAPH Brass Band and President of the band was the second Leader Of The Month. He led the band in preparing, organizing, and directing 4 major concerts in December. Anemson'n was chosen as Leader Of The Month after planning, organizing, and directing the student recital on February 28th. 

ASAPH leaders meet monthly to study the book of Nehemiah and to develop leadership awareness and skill. ASAPH's administration has seen real and practical improvement in the functioning of committees and groups after the leadership sessions began. Testimonies from several leaders have been even more encouraging. They site those leadership sessions as being valuable in their development as leaders. A couple of leaders credit ASAPH with helping them to become effective, mature leaders. One committee testified that lessons they learned in leadership sessions helped them to avoid ugly conflicts. 

ASAPH is about growth.  We are leading leaders and encouraging them as they grow!

Someone famous said that you will see the effectiveness of a leader in the people that he led.  ASAPH is proud of its leaders, and we celebrate them each month!
