I Kings 19 describes the process of Elijah being instructed by God to pass his mantle of leadership on to his successor. He had been serving as the Prophet of God for the nation of Israel. It was now time for him to seek out a man, named Elisha, as his replacement. Elijah shows his next step of submission to God by pursuing his successor and engaging in the process of passing on his mantle of leadership.
Like Elijah, God’s Word instructs us, in 2 Timothy 2:2, to pass along the mantle of leadership. It is our desire, here at Silverdale Baptist Church, to identify men who desire to serve God by investing their lives in His kingdom. The goal of this project is reproduce authentic, spiritual leaders in our church family and begin the process of passing on the mantle of leadership. We hope that this will result in great depth and volume of our men who give their lives to reproducing themselves in others in the future.
