Do you have any wisdom that you would share with young leaders?

Trust that God is in control and that it is his work and we are his servants. Pray lots and develop an intimate relationship so you can be confident with your decisions. Be wary of worldliness and getting comfortable. Provoke your comfort zones by living on the edge of them. And did I mention praying lots?
