SERVANT LEADER



The late Dawson Trotman, founder of the Navigators, was visiting Taiwan on one of his overseas trips.

During the visit he hiked with a Taiwanese pastor back into one of the mountain villages to meet with some of the national Christians.

The roads & trails were wet, and their shoes became very muddy.  Later, someone asked this Taiwanese pastor what he remembered most about Dawson Trotman.

Without hesitation the man replied, “He cleaned my shoes.”

John 13:5 (ICB): “Then he poured water into a bowl and began to wash the followers’ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him.”

Luke 14:11 (NIV): “For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

“Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility.” - Jonathan Edwards.
