Parents Going Viral
October 5, 2009
April Diaz, Next Gen Pastor at Newsong Church in Irvine, is a good friend of mine and also FYI. She’s on our FYI Advisory Council and I am always grateful for her wisdom.
She sent me an e.mail last week about an interview that Leadership Journal conducted of me related to Intergenerational Ministry. She wrote, “I just wanted you to know that I passed out your article to my 2 advisory councils last night (22 key parents). Before our next meeting they are to read it, take notes, and pass off to at least 4 other parents & gather their reflections.”
Brilliant!
The point isn’t that she’s passing out my interview (although I’m honored that she is). The point is that I love how she’s not only passing on resources to parents, but asking them to in turn, having them talk to other parents and pass on resources to others. That’s how change becomes more viral.
