“What John Murray has done in forming the Leadership Forum is in strict accordance with the Scriptures that tell us to ‘teach a child in the way he should go.’ As educators, it is a high and holy calling with a sure responsibility to teach the next generation the heart of Jesus’ commandment, ‘Love one another even as I have loved you.’
The Leadership Forum is bridging gaps that only relationships can secure. These weeks will forever be memorable in the lives of the young people who participate. This program gives us hope that these students will be equipped to further the Gospel and have loving kindness for one another into the next generations regardless of race. Without the kindness of others nurtured in relationships, Dred Scott would not have received his family’s freedom, despite the 1857 US Supreme Court Decision.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting with the Leadership Forum students during their recent retreat in Washington, DC. I was extremely impressed by these 8th graders. Their thought-provoking questions and comments led to a very enthusiastic, challenging and enlightening discussion. This group is representative of the great work that is being done by John Murray and the Forum to help shape the young analytical minds of their generation. I am honored to endorse this important program.”

“One hears a lot about ‘diversity’ these days, but if you want to see what it should look like, consider the Leadership Forum. Leaders and students learn that in Christ there are no differences of race or gender, but all are one and united in Him.”

“It gives me joy to support the Leadership Forum. I am reminded of that marvelous challenge in 2 Peter 1:5—‘For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge.’ The Leadership Forum understands that moral excellence is rooted in Jesus and the foundation of great leadership across all of life. May the mission of the Leadership Forum thrive for years to come.”
