Synopsis "Dare to Empower - now"
"This book is about the call for much-needed development of a future generation of young leaders and the organizational strategies to serve them... It is a plea to move forward toward an intentional, relational, relevant and experiential discipleship and leadership." --Dr. Jesse Miranda, Executive Presbyter, General Council of the Assemblies of God "In Dare to Empower, Maynor Morales puts, as we say in Spanish, 'his finger in the wound.' The key challenge for today's Hispanic leaders is to risk the empowerment of their best young followers. As a university president who is close to the new generation, I can promise that those who answer this call will be well rewarded!" --Joseph Castleberry, Ed.D., President, Northwest University "Dr. Morales integrates biblical principles, contextual awareness, and practical guidelines for ministerial training...I highly recommend this book for preparing leaders in Hispanic communities via biblically sound, culturally sensitive, and ministerially effective methods." --Don Thorsen, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Azusa Pacific University Seminary "As the Latino Protestant community continues to grow, it needs a new generation of leaders to respond to the challenges of guiding a new generation of Latino believers to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ. This work provides important insights that can be used by anyone who is involved in this very important task." --Juan Francisco Martínez, Ph.D., Vice President, Diversity and International Ministries Fuller Theological Seminary Dr. Maynor Morales has served in ministry for over thirty-seven years as an evangelist, pastor, professor, and executive presbyter for a Hispanic district of the Assemblies of God.
