As we look back on LEAPS2025, our final session (Session 3) invited us into deeper reflection through these questions: How does your union with Christโas the Vine to the branches, or the Head to the Bodyโshape the way you live each day? Why is it essential to abide in Him and be deeply rooted before we serve, lead, or bear fruit? Which aspect of Jesusโ life is the Lord presently highlighting for youโsurrender, abiding, holiness, Spirit-led living, or obedienceโand calling you to grow in now, so that your life and ministry may truly reflect the life, character, and presence of Christ?
The image contains our review notes from the third and final LEAPS2025 session, entitled โRooted, Renewed, and Released to Bear FruitโFruit That Will Last,โ facilitated by Kuya Jovitmar Bumarlong. He reminded us of a vital truth: we cannot make true disciples unless we ourselves are genuine disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. What we reproduce flows from who we areโwe reproduce our own kind. Therefore, if we desire to see others grow and mature in faith, we must first pursue and continually cultivate maturity in Christ ourselves.
The key emphases of this session remain anchored in the final component of the R.A.I.S.E. Leaders Frameworkโthe letter E, calling us to live as leaders who are empowered by grace, rooted in Christ, and released to bear lasting fruit.
The R.A.I.S.E. framework serves as the foundational structure for LEAPS2025:
โข R โ Rooted in the Word and Prayer
โข A โ Assess Maturity and Growth
โข I โ Invest in Mentoring Relationships
โข S โ Strengthen Engagement and Serve with Humility
โข E โ Empower and Equip for Multiplication
