A leader will seldom say, “I don’t have the time.” Such an excuse is usually the refuge of a small-minded and inefficient person. Each of us has the time to do the whole will of God for our lives.

J. Oswald Sanders

John Oswald Sanders (1902–1992) war ein neuseeländischer Bibelschullehrer, Autor und langjähriger Leiter der China-Inland-Mission (später OMF International). Bekanntheit erlangte er vor allem durch Schriften wie „Geistliche Leiterschaft“, in denen er biblische Führung auf Demut, Gebet und Charakter statt auf weltliche Machtstrukturen gründete. Für heutige Bibelleser bieten seine Texte Maßstäbe für persönliche Integrität, dienende Leiterschaft und verbindliche Nachfolge.
