<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s just that having been vaccinated myself a year earlier it meant I could simply sit back and read a magazine while Nora received vaccination shots against all manner of exotic diseases. I just found that to be somewhat, well, funny.<\/p>\n
In a few weeks Nora and I are privileged to be traveling with World Vision<\/a> to experience some of the work they are doing in South Africa. Now, having made this trip myself a year earlier and having been vaccinated at that time, I somewhat smugly pointed out that I didn\u2019t need to get shots again this year.<\/p>\n The doctor looked at my file and clarified an important point. \u201cThe reason you don\u2019t need to be vaccinated is not just because of the shots you received a year ago,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s because of what happened afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n Closing the folder on his desk the doctor looked up and continued. \u201cYou see, you came in for a follow up booster shot six months later. With that follow up shot you\u2019re good for 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n Here was yet one more example of something I\u2019ve been thinking, and writing, a lot about recently; the importance of the follow up. I\u2019ve been especially emphatic about the importance of follow up as it relates to The Global Leadership Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Every year I see thousands of Canadian church leaders attend the Summit, and I\u2019ve realized that those who get the most out of it always have some sort of follow up \u2018booster shot\u2019.<\/p>\n I recently talked to one of our Summit host pastors, Jeff Lockyer, about the importance of the follow up booster shot. Check out what he had to say in this short video clip<\/a>.<\/p>\n
