In 1998, Thomas Monaghan retired the founder, president, and chief executive officer of Domino’s Pizza, Inc. From 1970 to 1985, he grew it from a small debt-ridden chain to the second largest pizza company in America, with sales of over one billion dollars. When asked to account for the phenomenal growth of the company, Monaghan explained, “I programmed everything for growth.” How did he do that? He said, “Every day we develop people – the key to growth is developing people.” He didn’t focus on special cheese, a tasty crust, or fast delivery schedules, but on developing more leaders. If that is true for a pizza chain, how much more true is it for the church! 2 Timothy 2:1-7 contains 5 characteristics God wants his faith leaders to develop so that his church grows.
