Lighthouse keepers are tasked with watching the signs of weather, birds, marine life and tides to be able to predict the changes and challenges that are approaching an area or community. These people are in tune with their surroundings and they know how to read the signs. They keep the light burning and the signals clear. People depend on them. In days gone by many a lighthouse keeper was also responsible for rescue or at least sounding the alarm when rescue was needed.
As leaders, we are to be like lighthouse keepers. We are in the business of watching the signs and reading the sea changes. (Sea changes are the events and attitudes that mark a cultural shift in society.) Once we detect the sea change, it is our duty to sound the warning and draw attention to the pending change. Unlike the lighthouse keepers of the past, we are still in the business of rescue – saving the lost is still our fundamental purpose.
WOW participants are engaged in the salvation war and know how to get others engaged. We are aware of the sea changes and sound the warning. What are the needs of the women in your community that you can respond to in a life changing way? Make a difference.
