Leadership Academy Austria January 2012

Ian Green did not only bless us with a massive snow storm upon his arrival in Austria, he also brought a blizzard gospel truth, financial know-how and strategic leadership wisdom with him.

Most of us were stretched beyond our comfort zones, yet encouraged to grab hold of God’s truths regarding money, faith and leadership and move beyond all fears of failure. Getting to know him, his story and his involvement within various international organisations was not only a privilege, but it was also a weekend that has left a significant mark on the lives of Austria’s emerging leaders. Ian’s humour combined with his seemingly unending pool of life stories was truly empowering.

During his stay he also preached in Leoben, one of Vision for Austria’s network churches; where he encouraged and urged the congregation on to integrate God in their day to day life in new and creative ways. In conclusion, it is no exaggeration to say that Ian has impacted many people over this one short weekend. We went away challenged, changed and ready to think out of the box for our lives as leaders and followers of Jesus.
