Jeremy Isaacs has been our Director of Student Ministries and Next Gen Ministries for the past 4 1/2 years. He and Corrie will soon be opening the new campus of Mount Paran North in Canton, GA in January of 2012. Jeremy is a dynamic leader who has many gifts of preaching, teaching and a great musician—just to name a few. He also has the gift of “gab”. Jeremy could talk his way in and out of any situation needed. Had he not surrendered to the call of ministry, he could very well have been a Senator—and I mean that as a compliment!
The most important thing I have learned from Jeremy is that I do not need to be the originator of an idea in order for it to be a success. Jeremy is one of the most well-read persons I know. His depth and breadth of readings from books to blogs opens his life up to many thought-provoking and inspirational ideas that benefit him and the teams he works with.
Jeremy has challenged me to read blogs from folks I don’t necessarily agree with or people whose ministry context seems so different from mine. In doing so, I can become a better, more well-versed leader that benefits from the successes and failures of others. This helps me to grow without experiencing the painful lessons that I might otherwise have encountered.
Thanks to Jeremy for the lesson I have observed and learned from working with you. I know whenever I call you, I never have to worry about carrying the conversation.

The gift of "Gab" has been passed down many generations, and that gift is already being seen in Cooper.
