A
Tribute to Steve Clark, continued
Steve
Clark's Generous Investment
as
a mentor, father, and model for future generations of leaders
by Ande Kebe
For four decades,
Steve has not only inspired men and women around him with his witness of
a life radically set apart for the Lord, nor just equipped them through
his wisdom, teaching, and vision to build community, but he has also continued
to invest in young leaders by personally engaging them, helping them, and
challenging them to grow in Christian maturity.
The greatest
impact that Steve has had on the next generation of the Sword
of the Spirit is by continuing to go to the front lines of youth work
and help win young men to the life of mature Christian discipleship and
leadership. Steve has inspired, trained, and equipped these young men to
serve and to be strong leaders. But most fundamentally he has loved each
one of them and helped them to follow God's will for their lives.
I speak for
many young men around the Sword of the Spirit in saying that Steve's generous
personal investment as a mentor to me and even more importantly,
his fatherly love for me have had a tremendous impact on my desire to respond
generously to the Lord's call to be a builder in the Sword of the Spirit
and Kairos. His investment in the
leaders of our movement will bear tremendous fruit in the future generations
around the world.

Kebe is a Kairos Mission Leader
in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.]
