Seize the Vuja De

Since September 2008 I have been posting a monthly video blog called Learning @ the Speed of Life. Each month I’ve tried to help leaders think differently about some aspect of how we do missions. We continue to be amazed at how widely these vlogs have been viewed and how well they have been received.

When I encountered the idea of vuja dé I knew immediately it reflected the core essence of my monthly vlogs over the past few years about leadership, innovation and organizational development in a Great Commission context. We decided it was time for a second vlog book project, Seize the Vuja dé.

You may choose to engage the material linearly like a typical book, but you could also skip around to the chapters that address topics of greater interest. I suggest you begin with the Introduction, which unpacks the rationale for the title, and lays a foundation for the rest of the book. If you would like to explore the chapters out of sequence, you may find it helpful to reference the BIG IDEA in a Few Words, which gives a one hundred word overview for each chapter.

My prayer is this content will help you look at what God has called you to do as a Great Commission influencer from North America again, for the first time, so you can seize the vuja dé. I pray it will also give you something to think about, maybe even talk over with your team.
