Why We Fail to Empower the Next Generation of Leaders and What it Will Take for Us to Bridge the Gap
Our call as spiritual leaders in the Kingdom is not merely to lead but to multiply — to raise up a new generation of godly, influential, and vibrant leaders who will shine Christ's light in every corner of the world. As the absence of leaders becomes glaringly evident, with empty pulpits, leaderless congregations, and growing lostness, there arises an urgent need to address the central issue: why are we not cultivating healthy, spiritual leaders who, in turn, foster others? And how can we do better?

And how can we do better?
In this down-to-earth, informed, and practical book, I invite current Christian leaders, ministry teams, and small group leaders to embark on a transformative journey. A journey that challenges them to introspect, reassess, and realign their leadership styles with God’s vision for healthy multiplication. To be drawn away from self-centered approaches towards God-centered leadership; one that entails self-sacrifice but promises healthy ministry that lasts beyond their lifetime.
Drawing from my experience as a practitioner, and coupled with in-depth research from my doctoral research on the subject, this guide will serve as both an assessment tool and a beacon. It seeks to unveil an often-neglected facet of the Great Commission: leadership development and multiplication.
The time to build bridges to the next generation is now. We are not in this movement for ourselves. We lead and invest for the glory of God. For every hungry soul out there, waiting for guidance, for leadership, for someone to lead them closer to God — this book is our clarion call. Let’s not just be leaders; let’s be multipliers in the Kingdom.
