"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45)."

Dr. Peter Beita preached the opening sermon and said that the perfect leader and example for Christians and leaders is none other than Lord Jesus Christ himself. And quoting from Patrick Johnstone's book Operation World, he said, "There is lack of leadership worldwide, not lack of leaders but lack of true leaders."
