I\u2019m thrilled that IPHC is placing such great emphasis on Generations. As I pondered, prayed, and prepared for this assignment, I became captivated by the thought of \u201cGenerational Stewardship\u201d. I have been a strong proponent of Biblical Stewardship that goes beyond our financial resources. I do believe how we steward our financial resources are important and I also believe that it is equally important how we submit to Biblical Stewardship in every facet of our lives. I must admit that I\u2019ve given an intentional effort and investment into creating a multi-generational culture within my various ministry contexts. However, I cannot say that I have ever interpreted valuing all generations through the lenses or framework of Biblical Stewardship. I would suggest that we engage simultaneously the practical principles outlined in this article and I hope you will be encouraged and empowered to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Honor the Leading Generation <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I believe valuing all generations begins with properly honoring the generation that is leading us, the leading generation has paid a price for the platform they are standing on and the emerging generation will stand upon their shoulders. I am appealing to all emerging generations to learn the art of honoring the leading generation by: making it a priority to respect, deeply appreciate, learn from, and serve alongside the leading generation in a way that brings honor to them and God.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Serve Your Generation<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You must serve your generation! While honoring the leading generation, you must become keenly aware and fully engaged in God\u2019s assignment on your life and the unique way that you have been called to serve your generation. What assignment do you have for your generation?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>&#8220;Now when David had served God&#8217;s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>Acts 13:36<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><em>Prepare the next Generation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have been given the privilege and responsibility to prepare the next generation for ministry.

Estoy emocionado de que IPHC est\u00e9 poniendo tanto \u00e9nfasis en Generaciones. Mientras meditaba, or\u00e9 y me prepar\u00e9 para esta tarea, qued\u00e9 cautivado por la idea de la \"Mayordom\u00eda generacional\". He sido un firme defensor de la Mayordom\u00eda B\u00edblica que va m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de nuestros recursos financieros. Creo que la administraci\u00f3n de nuestros recursos financieros es importante y tambi\u00e9n creo que es igualmente importante c\u00f3mo nos sometemos a la administraci\u00f3n b\u00edblica en cada faceta de nuestras vidas. Debo admitir que he dedicado un esfuerzo e inversi\u00f3n intencional para crear una cultura multigeneracional dentro de mis diversos contextos ministeriales. Sin embargo, no puedo decir que haya interpretado alguna vez la valoraci\u00f3n de todas las generaciones a trav\u00e9s de los lentes o el marco de la Administraci\u00f3n b\u00edblica. Sugerir\u00eda que entablemos simult\u00e1neamente los principios pr\u00e1cticos descritos en este art\u00edculo y espero que se sienta alentado y facultado para marcar la diferencia. <strong><em>Honrar a la generaci\u00f3n l\u00edder<\/em><\/strong> Creo que valorar a todas las generaciones comienza con honrar adecuadamente a la generaci\u00f3n que nos est\u00e1 liderando, la generaci\u00f3n l\u00edder ha pagado un precio por la plataforma en la que est\u00e1n parados y la generaci\u00f3n emergente se parar\u00e1 sobre sus hombros. Estoy apelando a todas las generaciones emergentes para que aprendan el arte de honrar a la generaci\u00f3n l\u00edder: haciendo que sea una prioridad respetar, apreciar profundamente, aprender de, y servir junto a la generaci\u00f3n l\u00edder de una manera que les traiga honor a ellos y a Dios. <strong><em>Sirve a tu generaci\u00f3n<\/em><\/strong> \u00a1Debes servir a tu generaci\u00f3n!
