Jeff Abbott
Jeff Abbott is the chair of our Convene group, which meets once a month to share best ideas and practices among Christian CEOs and businesspeople. I had been part of that group for quite a while and reentered when one of the members sponsored me to be part of this amazing ministry.
One of the things that happens each month is I get a one-hour executive coaching session with Jeff Abbott. He is one smart cookie. I don’t know why, but every time I meet with Jeff, I come away with something written on a napkin – a diagram, a Bible verse, or a concept that allows me to be a better leader.
What I love about Convene is it’s a group of businessmen – they run insurance companies and manufacturing companies and building companies – but they want to use their businesses for the Lord. My role in this group is to help them understand what kingdom-building is all about. So not only do I get ministered to by these people, but I get to minister to them. More importantly, I get to spend an hour with Jeff Abbott.
I wish that every one of the people in our mission – every one of the missionaries, every one of the leaders – could have a Jeff Abbott in their life. I wish they could have someone who speaks into their lives, someone who is smarter than they are. With having different life experiences, people like Jeff Abbott allow us to be better tools for God to use to build up His kingdom.
