Please support our Soccer Mission Trip to Haiti! "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach gospel to the poor He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoner and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." LUKE 4:18-19 The Lauderdale United Soccer Club and Calvary Chapel Sports Ministry are planning a trip to Haiti. As the tragedy in Haiti falls from the news headlines, the need is still tremendous. Our mission is to make disciples by crossing over an individual’s passion for sports to impact and change lives in the church, in the community locally and internationally and in the next generation. The community of Jacmel, Haiti is the our focus on this trip. We will provide a soccer clinic, vacation bible camp and assistance in the ongoing reconstruction project. The members of our team are taking time away from work and family to participate in this mission. We hope you will make a donation that will help cover travel expenses, equipment, bibles, construction materials, food, medicine and more!

NOT Lee Jones, Ph.D President and CEO of InSpire Enterprise and Executive Editor InSpire Magazine
AN OPTION EXCUSES ARE
UNACCEPTABLE AND EXCELLENCE IS OUR GOAL! “
World of InSpire | 1
STATEMENT of
EXCELLENCE Excellence will never be an accident within the
InSpire Enterprise Team. It will be achieved as a result of an unrelenting and vigorous insistence on the highest standards of performance. It will require an unswerving expectancy of quality from each member of the InSpire Team, its volunteers and all people who represent by InSpire (i.e. InSpire Magazine, the InSpire Us Foundation, ILEAD Institute, InSpire Attire, Be-Inspired Talk Radio,Your Voice TV, etc.)
Excellence is contagious. It infects and affects
everyone in the organization. It charts the direction of every program. It establishes the criteria for planning. It provides zest and vitality to the organization. As it is achieved, excellence has a talent for permeating every aspect of life in the organization.
E
xcellence demands commitment and a tenacious dedication from the leadership of the organization. Once accepted it must be nourished, allowing for continual review and renewing. It is a never-ending process of learning and growing. It requires a spirit of motivation and boundless energy. It is always the result of a creatively conceived and precisely planned effort.
World of InSpire | 2
Excellence inspires. It electrifies. It affects every
phase of the organization’s life. It unleashes an impact, which influences every program, every activity, every team, and every team member. To instill excellence in an organization is difficult; to sustain it, is even more so. It demands adaptability, imagination and vigor. But most of all, it requires a constant state of self-discovery and discipline, from the leadership.
Excellence is the lifeline and the vessel of
InSpire. It will be the most compelling answer to apathy and inertia. It energizes as stimulating and pulsating force. It is the expected standard of performance, and it nurtures as a fiercely driving and motivating philosophy of operation. Excellence is a state of mind put into action. It is a road map to success. When a climate of excellence exists, all things come more easily. Simply put, InSpire will strive each day for nothing short of EXCELLENCE!

ILEAD INSTITUTE defining leadership Leadership is a term that has been around the English language for quite some time. There are as many definitions for this word as there are people to defint it. Leadership, like other ambiguous words, means, different things to different people. While it is difficult, at best, to agree on a common definition, most people can describe good leadership when they see it. For purposes of gaining an ILEAD Leadership Experience, we define leadership in the following way: Leadership is the ability to marshal human resources, create a collective vision, and develop creative ways to move a group of people to accomplish a common set of goals. The first tow areas of this definition seem easy to achieve. Creating ways to move a group of people to accomplish a common set of goals might be a bit more challenging. In fact, we suggest that achieving goals through human resources is the most difficult tast leaders face. Achieving the ILEAD experince will assist you to examine your potential and develop strategies to work with people to fulfill your organizational mission.

ABOUT
let your haters be your motivators
Let your haters Be Your Motivators was developed from a speech written by Dr. Lee Jones in 2006. The speech has been delivered throughout the United States and has received Rave Reviews. In fact, the speech ahs become one of Dr. J’s most requested speeches. So much so that a poster was designed outlining the moajor points of the speech. Haters are those poeple who consciously and subconsciously deliver and dump negative venom in our lives. Haters are people who typically do not understand their purpose for their lives, thus they are very uncomfortable with themselves. On many occasions, they have become so comfortable with negativity in their own lives that they are not aware of how their behaviors and actons are being portrayed for the entire world to see. Unfortunately we live in a world where, in many cases, the “Haters” are all around us. This mini-movie attempts to provide a visual representation of Dr. J’s top ten reasons why some people hate on each other. Each scene is filled with the rifling and baffling hegaviros of people (haters) who make a special attempt to downplay, degrade, and demoralize the success of people who living within their purpose. The end goal of this project is to assist the Haters in becoming more confident with who they are thus focusing their energies in ways that are more productive. We also hope eo encourage those who are the recipient of such behaviors to continue and increase their positive energy so that others may benefit.
