My prayer is that more and more young people will see visions. Acts 2:17.
Lord send another wave of your Spirit that will move our young people to go, to speak and to move in your power.
Today I preached on dreams and visions and how God speaks to us. The Holy Spirit moved in an amazing way.
Acts 2:17 says: ‘In the last days . . . I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.’

The church’s destiny is not to become childproof where we are safe. Jesus is not interested in a consumption mentality or in just keeping us safe.
– Jesus is trying to keep us away from a meaningless life.
We need to inspire people to give their lives for something greater than themselves.

FAN INTO FLAME THE NEXT GENERATION
What is the culture of your organization or church?
Do we promote creativity and new ideas?
– CULTURE OF INNOVATION
– TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
– INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION
INNOVATION
The fear for failure and insecurity holds you for taking risks to innovate. If we are not able to take risks, we are no longer leading by faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God and it robs you from His blessings.
TRANSFORMATIONAL
Transformational leaders are focussed on making tomorrow better. They want to bridge the gap to the future.
1. Vision (Comes from relationship, hearing the Word of the Lord)
2. Authenticity
3. Growth mindset
4. Creativity
5. Diversity
INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION
A key for: ‘Inspiring leadership’
1. Practice your vision
2. Teach your vision
– Practice first, teaching second
– This is the principle Jesus is talking and teaching about
Matthew 5:19
‘But he who practices them and teaches others to do so shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven’.
‘Inspire the next generation’
Freek & Angelique
God has called us for global ministry. With all our heart and all our love for Him we choose to walk in obedience to His call. We are able to do so because of partners that want to partner with us in the harvest and the call that Gods has on our lives. YWAM works with volunteers, this means that YWAM doesn't give a salary. Our ministry and all our mission trips are funded by those who partner with us in His call for us to reach the nations.
