"In Leadership in Community, Lee Carter plugs a hole that has been gaping for too long. In missional circles, there has existed a void of material relevant to boots-on-the-ground team leadership that eschews hierarchical authoritarianism and instead adapts the servant posture modeled by Jesus. Drawing on scripture and best global mission practice, Carter provides a clear and practical road map for orienting a team around a biblical framework for understanding leadership. This tool will serve this generation and future generations in providing a much-needed alternative to the majority of leadership pipeline tools that focus on faulty models of leadership." (Peyton Jones, evangelist, author of Church Zero: Raising First Century Churches Out of the Ashes of the 21st Century Church, Reaching the Unreached: Becoming Raiders of the Lost Art, and Church Plantology: The Art and Science of Planting Churches)

"Dr. Carter has developed a spiritual formation curriculum, Leadership in Community: The Missiology, Community and Ethics of Missional Leadership, that will not only help one grow closer to Jesus but will expand one’s understanding of the missional nature of God. The power of the curriculum is walking through the eight movements of reflection and study. It will be a powerful study to walk through in a small group setting or with church staff." (Dr. W. David Winner, adjunct professor, Business and Leadership at Regent University)
