2008 Leadership Summit

“God, I fully yield myself to you.”

“I will do your bidding without delay.”

“I will refuse you nothing.”

“I will seek to love You as You have never been loved before.”

“Here I am. Send me.”

Relentless Challenge

These were the challenges extended to those who attended the 2008 Leadership Summit at Willow Creek and 140 satellite sites across North America. “If you were God, would you send you?” asked Bill Hybels to Summit attenders.

Challenges to impact the world came as part of “Relentless,” Hybels’ concluding message that wrapped up Willow Creek’s 13th annual Leadership Summit that will reach 108 cities globally beginning this fall. The Leadership Summit began in 1995 in response to a vision and calling to encourage leadership development for the sake of Christ and his church. This year, the Summit will reach over 100,000 leaders in 300 cities worldwide.
