A Shift in Leadership

A Shift in Leadership

cannot become bogged down with too much administration. Some leaders wear themselves down with administration. They experience burnout because they do not recognize others with this gifting, and they do not know how to delegate. Some churches expect pastors to be administrators. They expect the leaders to be and to do everything. A vision without administration is like a body without a skeleton. The skeleton holds up the body. Administrations is the bone structure of the Church. This is why administrations must be strong in the church. Some apostolic leaders are very administrative. Axel Sippach of Seattle, Washington is an apostolic and visionary strategist with a strong gift of administration. He is also one of the apostolic leaders of our I.M.P.A.C.T. Network who has been a tremendous blessing in helping administrate much of what we are doing around the world. Apostle Sippach is gifted in strategizing the plans of God including how to move, penetrate, and establish the apostolic in certain nations. However, he still needs those with administrative gifts to help carry out the vision. When he becomes too bogged down with administration, it draws his focus away from the overall vision he has as an apostolic leader. God gives him strategies to impact and affect nations. With the help of governments, Axel can be effective in implementing these strategies.
