Police Raid!Recently a bus drove up to the

Manila campus of IGSL, and out poured 13 officer instructors of the Philippine National Police Academy, plus four selected senior cadet leaders. They came to investigate the school, test us to see if our training might be useful in developing future police, fire and jail officers. We hosted them for a one-day leadership seminar, exposing them to our servant-steward leadership model. If they liked it, the doors would fly wide open to train cadets in the police academy. If they did not like it, it would risk any ongoing ministry on the police training campus. No guarantees. Trusting God, we took the risk!

The group was an interesting mix of believers and non-believers, and a Catholic chaplain for good measure. Attending our seminar were some rigid, traditional military hierarchy types--command and control thinkers--who were challenged to broaden their approach on how to lead. There were also some open hearted, reform-minded officers who totally “get” our approach to leadership! We did presentations, used case studies, and showed a film clip. Discussions became energetic, especially when we unearthed some hot issues. The tension rose as we faced some sticky moments. We wondered if we

had turned off some important people. As faculty, we prayed that the leaders would be open to what we had to share - this could change the leadership practices in the police department and lead to a great spiritual movement as well!

The CommanderAt the end of the day a general, the commander of the

academy, showed up and we held our breath. He gathered feedback, consulted with his leaders, and then asked us to be sure we give this training to all the rest of his officers and every cadet in the academy. This was followed up by a team of twelve made up of our faculty and students who trained 280 graduating senior cadets at the police academy - the Philippine equivalent of West Point in the U.S.

This wonderful situation follows years of our faculty and students praying for, and ministering to the Philippine Military Academy where many cadets have become new Christians. Pray with us that God will sustain this ministry and expand it among these influential leaders. Only God fully knows the roles they will have in helping to reach the world with the gospel.
