Listen "Succession Not Retirement"
Episode Synopsis
Ramez Atallah joins Jim and Matt for Series 2 of The Same Commission, as he discusses how to plan well for succession. Drawing on his experience from leading a number of various mission organisations, Ramez shares how mission partners should work hard to make themselves redundant, by ensuring that their ministries are passed on well to the next generation. with Ramez Atallah, Senior Advisor, Bible Society of Egypt Ramez Atallah left Egypt as a child, after his family's property was confiscated by the socialist regime in the 50s. He lived in Canada, where he met and married his wife, Rebecca. In 1980, they moved back to Egypt with their two young children, where he served with IFES and the Lausanne Movement. Since 1990, Ramez worked as the General Secretary of the Bible Society of Egypt, where he now is their Senior Advisor. "The Lord will decide, but what is my role, what does God assign me? And if Paul was responsible to have Timothy, Titus, several young men working with him, each of whom could have picked up the baton and worked in different areas and the Lord Jesus had twelve, eleven of whom ended up carrying the torch after him, then certainly we should have two or three around us from whom we can choose and from whom the Lord can choose. Yes, it is the Lord's decision, but we have a big role to prepare for the Lord's decision" – Ramez Atallah Podcast participants: Jim Armstrong, General Director, Echoes International, Matt Pitts, Missions Director, Echoes International and Ramez Atallah, Senior Advisor, Bible Society of Egypt TAG ON SOCIAL: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ramez.atallah PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: www.echoesinternational.org.uk/commission Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-same-commission/id1735900905 Amazon: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/be7b52bc-c722-41d2-a211-2cd958f6b7eb/the-same-commission Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0LlwFSwHrVeYrJlhfcvJy2?si=b78369ad3f5945e5 SOCIAL:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/echoesinternational/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/echoesinternational Website: www.echoesinternational.org.uk KEYWORDS: Mission; Mission partners; Gospel; Christian; Brethren; Believers; retirement; retire; succession; succeeding; management; leadership; generations; managers; leader; ministry; ministries; redundant;
