Young Leaders Arise

Here's a good reminder from Tiffany Smith at Missional Mayhem that young people can be Christian leaders too!

Did you know…

Perpetua (the courageous early martyr) was only 22.

Athanasius of Alexandria was 29 when he argued successfully for the divinity of Christ at the historic Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.

Martin Luther was in his early 30’s when he nailed his 95 theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg.

John Calvin was just 26 when he penned his landmark tome, Institutes of the Christian Religion.

Charles Spurgeon was only 19 when he was called to take the pastorate of London’s famed New Park Street Chapel, the largest Baptist congregation in all of England at the time.

Missionary Jim Elliot and musician Keith Green both died before 30.

So go for it, youngsters! Show us old folks what you can do.
