January 21, 2009Continuing Our Journey
by by Caryn RivadeneiraAll of us at Gifted for Leadership are so grateful so many of you participated in our Devotional Journey! We hope it's been a great one for you.
I hope you've been as encouraged and challenged and as blessed as I was. One of my favorite things about this journey was that we took it together - in community, even if it was virtual. I loved that we got to share our stories and insights together. This community and togetherness is really what drives the Gifted for Leadership team.
Our desire is to provide a place for Christian women in leadership to voice their frustrations and triumphs as well as to find encouragement and resources to help you in your leadership. Those resources include this blog as well as other downloadable resources. We WISH we could offer them all for free as we did with this devotional, but as a not-for-profit ministry, we rely on the sales of these downloads to support our ministry (and since most downloads are $9.95 and you can make copies for up to 1,000 people, this is quite a bargain!).
We'd like to call upon those of you who took advantage of this Devotional Journey to provide us with some feedback as we evaluate this project and plan for the future. Please click here to take a brief survey about your experience. It will take less than 5 minutes and you don't need to provide your name or email address.
In the year ahead, we hope you continue to be a part of the Gifted for Leadership community, that you remain grounded in the Word, and that you check out some of the wonderful resources Gifted for Leadership offers:
? The Synergy Conference for women leaders March 6-8 in sunny Orlando. If you enjoyed this devotional, you'll love this conference. Several of the devotionals' authors will be there! This year's theme is "Recovering the Blessed Alliance."
? Downloadable training resources on everything from Organization and Time Management to Multicultural Ministry to Spiritual Refreshment.
? A six-session Bible study perfect for small groups or personal devotions called Six Principles for Women Leaders from our ministry partner ChristianBibleStudies.com. Enter coupon code GFLDevo during checkout to receive 40% off this or any other Bible study on that site. We hope this helps you stay in the Word!

I wasn't able to complete your survey because of an error on the site. Sorry.
I did it alone and visited the blog every day.
I did it because the material on the blog is generally excellent and worth my time. I expected more of the same. I was not disappointed.
