Synergy 2007 Update
Saturday at Synergy 2007 has been a pleasure. I continue to be impressed with the group of women who have found their way to this event . Like Gifted for Leadership, Synergy is a community of gifted women who represent great potential for powerful ministry in the name of Christ.
In our plenary session this morning, we heard again from Dr. Alice Mathews. She talked about "synergy" - what it means and why it's important. Basically, to achieve synergy, you must have all the parts of a whole present and engaged and working together in unity. This certainly is true for the church. Synergy, she pointed out, is essential for our work of spreading the gospel.

Welcome to Gifted for Leadership!
Welcome to Gifted for Leadership! This blog is designed specifically for Christian women who are capable, called, and gifted leaders. Unfortunately, many Christian women in leadership feel alone in their calling. They need a place where they can converse about the issues they face, encourage one another, and challenge each other. They want something different from the women's ministry resources and events that discuss issues unique to women. They want tools that visit topics that are not unique to women, but that approach them from a woman's perspective.
That's why we're producing a free monthly e-mail newsletter (have you signed up?), this blog, and - coming soon - a collection of downloadable booklets. These tools will equip, encourage, challenge, and unite women who exercise leadership gifts in church and parachurch ministry, in business, and at home. They'll also build a community of women with leadership gifts who can challenge and support one another and grow together.
This site is a resource of Christianity Today International, produced in partnership with the editors of LEADERSHIP JOURNAL. I'm very excited to launch this blog and to tell you about our Gifted for Leadership philosophy:
