Sorry for the lapse in posts over the past week, I have been in adelaide for 3 days of last week and for 3 days this week our internet has been down at work, so it has made it very difficult to post on the blog. Thankyou all for your support.
We want Genesis to be a place where people from all walks of life encounter God and experience his character through the staff and volunteers who work at the Centre.
At Genesis we want to cultivate a culture of celebrating victories. Working on the front line doesn’t always have positive experiences but in learning to celebrate our victories and as a team encourage each other through our Genesis history book, positive emails and letters and throwing out the critical ones after they have been dealt with… this keeps us healthy and encourages us to keep moving forward.
We can’t sit back waiting for “Holy Spirit fairy dust’ to magically change the culture of our Centre. We need to lead – to intentionally shift the culture to one of passion, faith and grace. Of course we take into consideration the socio-economic and community factors, but this doesn’t change the fact that the ultimate responsibility for creating a powerful culture lies with the team.

One thing we are constantly made aware of at our Centre is that people don’t quote the Bible….they quote you! They mimic your behavior, speech, body language, sense-of-humour and attitudes because you are their teacher. In a perfect world these people would take their cues in life directly from the Holy Spirit….but this isn’t a perfect world so they follow you! And in doing so, you create CULTURE.
