“I write in isolation, never knowing who (if anyone!) will read my words. Leaders on the front lines are the ones helping to transform lives. Congratulations, LTI, on 10 years of important ministry serving as comrade, medic, and chaplain to those leaders. I’m honored to be part of the big celebration in November.”

- Philip Yancey, award winning author and editor-at-large for Christianity Today magazine

A Word of GreetingFrom the President and Chairman

Dear Friends of Leadership Transformations,

July 1, 2013 was the offi cial tenth anniversary date of our organization. We commemorated the day by fasting and praying for leaders and teams of local church and Christian ministry settings, including our own leader-ship team. Th is activity was appropriate for our ministry for a number of important reasons, most specifi cally because of our vision: for local churches and Christian organizations to be fi lled with leaders who place spiritual formation, discernment and renewal above all other leadership priorities.

Over the past year, this vision has been solidifi ed and exemplifi ed by all of our faithful team members. Our Board of Directors, Executive and Ministry team, Selah faculty, and members of the Gordon-Conwell Pierce Center team, are a rich collection of gifted and godly leaders who share our vision and mission. We delight in fulfi lling our mission together, and it’s pure joy to watch God at work through our shared labors of love and service.

What you hold in your hands is our 10th Anniversary Edition of our Annual Report. It’s fi lled with life-changing information about the churches and ministries we’ve served, each having distinct stories of how LTI has been an encouragement to them. Each day we are serving leaders who hunger for more of God, and enter into our ministry space with open hearts and hands ready for their souls to be satisfi ed. We are happy to report that this is happening daily…in one-on-one sessions, spiritual formation groups, soul care retreats, training events, utilizing our many online resources, and through our major programs such as Selah and Emmaus.

As you read the pages of this report, we invite you to rejoice with us at the myriad ways God is strengthening and multiplying our shared ministry to the body of Christ. Be reminded as you read about and observe the many ministries of Leadership Transformations that this ministry exists because of the faithfulness of God and the ripple eff ects of generous gifts, excellent service, terrifi c programs, and prayerful servant leaders. We are honored to share this outstanding report with you, our friends and partners on this unique ministry journey.

With grateful hearts in Christ,

Stephen A. Macchia David C. SchultzFounder and President Chairman of the Board

"I wish I could be there with you personally as you celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Leadership Transformations; what a momentous occasion! Lead with integrity; serve with intensity; give with generosity; and succeed with humility."

- Rick Warren Senior Pastor, Saddleback Church

Vision, Mission, Core Values

VisonFor local churches and Christian organizations to be fi lled with leaders who place spiritual formation, discern-ment and renewal above all other leadership priorities.

MissionTo cultivate vibrant spirituality and attentive discernment among Christian leaders and teams.

"Congratulations to Leadership Transformations on ten years of dynamic ministry and catalytic impact. Th e best is yet to come."

- John Ortberg Bestselling author, speaker, and the senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church (MPPC) in the San Francisco Bay Area

Core ValuesTHE TRINITYWho invites us to receive the extravagant love of the Father, the gracious redemption of his Son, and the empowering presence of his Holy Spirit.

THE LOCAL CHURCH Our communities of faith wherein we become spiri-tually formed as the people of God and in one accord fulfi ll the Great Commandment (loving God), the second Great Commandment (loving one another) and the Great Commission (sharing the love of Christ in word and deed).

AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY Since we are created to live in relational communities and function as teams, and because of our commit-ment to enhance the health and vitality of the body of Christ, we seek to multiply the eff orts of ministry teams in addition to coming alongside individual leaders.

VIBRANT SPIRITUALITYBased on the Word of God as our incarnational text, prayer as the primary way we communicate with God, and refl ective disciplines that keep us in the fl ow of ongoing spiritual renewal. Th is includes soul care designed around contemplative practices, prayer-ful discernment processes, and a Sabbath lifestyle of pausing, resting, embracing and celebrating our life with God.

ATTENTIVE DISCERNMENT While spiritual formation and discernment have more to do with our “being” (character and attitudes) than our “doing” (actions and accomplishments), we balance the development of individual spiritual lives and ministry systems (discerning attentiveness to God’s ongoing invitation, direction, and blessing) with strategic thinking/planning, continually re-maining in a listening, open-handed, and spiritually responsive posture.

SA RESOU

“I can’t believe how the Scriptures came alive!” exclaimed a spiritual friend

aft er I suggested he try reading the Scriptures slowly and out loud. He had

read the Bible all his life; sometimes the text was full of life and challenge.

Recently his devotional life was more mechanical, going through the motions.

Here was a serious Christian going through a dry spell. Deciding to read

through the Bible in a year, at breakneck speed, he completed his assignment

but he sensed very little of the voice of God in his life.

I recalled a time when I fi rst found reading aloud, meditatively and slowly,

aided my hearing of God. Was this some newfangled reading of Scripture

from the latest author? No, it is a style that is old as the Bible. St Benedict of

Nursa, a 6th century organizer of monks who aided students in their study

of Scripture, is oft en credited with the organizing structure of Lectio Divina.

Lectio Divina or Sacred Reading (some call it devotional reading) of

Scripture is not Bible study. It is more like praying the Scriptures. It is

reading the Scriptures with the heart. Lectio Divina does not replace Bible

study but complements and enhances it so as to let God address our hearts

as well as our heads. Too oft en we read Scripture as a devotional duty rather

than an appointment with the living God. When I invited my friend to slow

down and listen, it was like the opportunity to ruminate over a love letter as

opposed to reading and analyzing a bill from Verizon.

Th e Upper Room suggests this way to practice sacred reading with an assist

from Richard Foster:

1. Lectio (reading with a listening spirit) Read the Scripture slowly. Watch

for a key phrase or word that jumps out at you or promises to have special

meaning for you. It is better to dwell profoundly on one word or phrase than

to skim the surface of several chapters. Read with your own life and choices

in mind.

2. Mediatio (refl ecting on what we are “hearing”) Refl ect on a word or phrase.

Let the special word or phrase that you discovered in the fi rst reading sink

“ Lectio has been used for over 1,500 years. It is gaining popularity as more and more people are fi nding it a powerful way to nurture their spiritual lives. In the past (especially in the Protestant church), we have concentrated on the study of the Bible. As a result we have come to know a lot about the Bible. But we have not been very good at applying the Bible. Lectio divina is an approach that builds on serious Bible study but moves to new depths as we open ourselves to God through the Bible.”

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.”

- Colossians 3:16

LECTIO DIVINA

Written by John French, Selah Faculty

into your heart. Bring mind, will and emotions to the task. Be like Mary,

Jesus’ mother, who heard of the angel’s announcement and “treasured” and

“pondered” what she had heard (Luke 2:19).

3. Oratio (praying in response to this hearing) Respond to what you have

read. Form a prayer that expresses your response to the idea, then “pray it

back to God.” What you have read is woven through what you tell God.

4. Contemplatio (contemplating what we will carry forward into our lives)

Rest in God’s word. Let the text soak into your deepest being, savoring an

encounter with God and truth. When ready, move toward the moment in

which you ask God to show you how to live out what you have experienced.

Don’t feel tied rigidly to the structure. Allow your heart to connect with God.

May God bless the reading and receiving of his Word.

Break Th ou the Bread of Life, Dear Lord, to me, As Th ou didst break the loaves beside the sea;

Beyond the sacred page I seek Th ee, Lord; My spirit pants for Th ee, O Living Word.

Th ou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, to me, Th y holy Word, the Truth that saveth me; Give me to eat and live, with Th ee above;

Teach me to love Th y truth, For Th ou art Love.

Bless Th ou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me, As Th ou didst bless the bread by Galilee;

Th en shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall; And I shall fi nd my peace, my all in all.

Oh, send Th y Spirit, Lord, Now unto me, Th at He may touch my eyes, And make me see; Show me the truth concealed, Within Th y Word,

And in Th y Book revealed, I see the Lord.

• “Read/listen: Read aloud a short passage of Scripture. As you read, listen for the

word or phrase that speaks to you. What is the Spirit draw¬ing attention to?

• Meditate: Repeat aloud the word or phrase to which you are drawn. Make

connections between it and your life. What is God saying to you by means of this

word or phrase?

• Pray: Now take these thoughts and off er them back to God in prayer, giving thanks,

asking for guidance, asking for forgiveness, and resting in God’s love. What is God

leading you to pray?

• Contemplate: Move from the activity of prayer to the stillness of con¬templation.

Simply rest in God’s presence. Stay open to God. Listen to God. Remain in peace

and silence before God. How is God revealing himself to you? (Based on Richard

Peace’s Contemplative Bible Reading)

• As you refl ect upon your past study and reading of Scripture, how has

God spoken to you?

• What new ways might the Spirit be stirring your heart through the

practice of lectio?

• Would you characterize yourself as someone who reads through the

Sctriptures very quickly? If so, would you receive this inviation to slow

down and deeply engage with the Word of God?

• As you prayerfully sit with the Scriptures, are you able to mediatate on a

specifi c word or phrase throughout the day? Th e week? An even longer

period of time?

Soul Care Retreat Guide Sabbath is a timeless invitation from God that he has modeled to his people since the dawn of time. After God completed the creation of his world, he rested. One can almost imagine the joy he felt as he delighted in all that he made … light, darkness, water, earth, vegeta-tion, sky, fish, birds, creatures of every kind, and man in his own image. When he saw all that he had made, and that it was very good … he rested.

“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.” (Genesis 2:2, 3)

When God issued the commandments he wanted his people to follow, the Sabbath priority appears once again. “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your man-servant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” (Exodus 20:8-11)

Ever since then, the people of God have been invited to keep the Sabbath holy. What did that mean to Jesus and the early Church? What does that mean to you and me? This retreat resource has been designed to invite you into the rhythms of Sabbath that we are confident will recreate the abundance of life from deep within you. As you engage in this experience with a particular focus on Sabbath rest and renewal, our prayer is that the rhythms of Sabbath will become yours as well. The Church today desperately needs to reclaim the Sabbath. May it be so with you, starting today.

“What is implicit in the Sabbath command is our need for restoration. God ceased from creating, not because he needed rest or restoration, but because we do and God wanted to set the precedent, to lead by example. We need to be re-created after all our creating … creating taps us out; our creativity is easily spent; creating wears

us threadbare. Sabbath is not for more creating; it is for re-creating. Therefore, cease from what is necessary … embrace that which gives life. Those two things, taken together, make up Sabbath’s golden rule.”

From The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan, 128-129

"Every leader needs a trail guide, someone with shrewdness and dar-ing, with a deep cache of survival skills, with intimate knowledge of the lay of the land. Th e folks at Leadership Transformations are that. Th ey understand what all leaders eventually discover: that giftedness won't get us to the fi nish line. Only a deep soul does that. Th ank God that LTI knows how to get us there."

"Congratulations to LTI and Steve Macchia for reaching this ten year milestone! I have little doubt that there will be many more anniversaries to come. Why? Because I believe in the vision of LTI and the heart of Dr. Macchia. Would that more Christian leaders could focus equally on their organization's strategy and at the same time their soul's health. LTI is helping to make this possible, and the results I believe are making not just a wider impact, but a deeper one."

- Barry Corey, President, Biola University

"Warmest congratulations to Leadership Transformations and all the team there upon the occasion of this 10th anniversary. Your decade of kingdom work has enriched many Christian communities and blessed the course of many Christian lives. We are grateful."

- Phyllis Tickle, Lecturer in the fi eld of religion and spirituality and the author of some three dozen books on the subject "I congratulate Steve Macchia and his colleagues on this 10th anniversary. Th ere is a huge need, in the busyness of life, for safe times, safe places, and safe people to help leaders be resilient over the long run. I am glad Leader-ship Transformations helps to provide this with care and wisdom."

- Leighton Ford, President, Leighton Ford Ministries

"Congratulations on 10 meaningful years! I remember talking about your vision for LTI 10 years ago and the Lord has defi nitely answered your prayers and hopes. Th anks for your faithfulness in this strategic ministry of leadership transformation."

- Bob Fryling, Publisher of InterVarsity Press, Author of Th e Leadership Ellipse: Shaping How You Lead by Who You Are "Leadership Transformations, and in particular Steve Macchia and Rick Anderson, have blessed our organiza-tion beyond measure. Only heaven will reveal the full impact of the twice yearly soul care days these faithful servant-guides have facilitated for our nearly 300 staff over the past six years. Th e Lord has used LTI to show us the improbable and unexpected joy and benefi t of rest at work. We thank God for LTI and pray He would grant continued blessings and fruitfulness in years to come."

- Mark Holbrook, President/CEO, Evangelical Christian Credit Union "Wise, humble, Godly leadership is the great need of our churches today. On its 10th anniversary, I am grateful for the rich ministry of LTI in shaping leaders and churches towards that end. LTI is making a diff erence for the sake of Christ's Kingdom."

- Dennis P. Hollinger, Ph.D., President and Colman M. Mockler Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Th eological Seminary

“What a joy to have had a small part in encouraging and then in seeing God raise up Dr. Steve Mac-chia in this ministry of Leadership Transformations these past ten years! May our Lord continue to bless this ministry in even greater ways to the honor and glory of his kingdom and glory!”

- Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Th eological Seminary

“Leadership Transformations has played a profound role in the lives of so many leaders I know and respect. It’s a tremendous organiza-tion, and it’s a great blessing to join in celebrating its 10th anniversary. Heartiest of congratulations.”

- D. Michael Lindsay, President, Gordon College

“Two words come to mind when I refl ect on LTI’s ten years of raising the standard for spiritual enlarge-ment in the lives of men and women in leadership. Well done! Don’t stop now. Th e best is yet to come.”

- Gordon MacDonald, Chancellor, Denver Seminary

“Congratulations to the whole team at Leadership Transformations on 10 years of God inspired ministry. Th e escalating demands of leader-ship in the church are creating unprecedented pressures on leaders. Th e result? Too many leaders are imploding. Leadership Transforma-tion is stepping in the gap to turn this around and help leaders move

beyond merely surviving... to thriving!”

- Jim Mellado, Christ-follower...husband to Leanne...father to Ester, Elisabeth and Davy...passionate about the beauty and potential of eff ective churches to change the world; President, Compassion International
