We can’t contain what God wants to do this year, but what do we do to ‘Go with the flow?’
Dave Ferguson"A short but insightful read that can change lives forever – Anthony proves again that deep truths don’t have to be complex."
Carl Beech"Anthony is the real deal, a leader full of keen insights into how to unlock the gift and calling God has placed in you. Read this, then get hold of a bunch for your friends."
Dr. Krish Kandiah"Anthony Delaney is a gifted communicator and leader. He has an infectious passion for God and is making an outstanding impact in his community."
The Independent“Delaney is 'above all' a follower of Jesus: he has successfully utilised his engaging, measured manner to grow Manchester's Ivy Church to more than four times its size since he joined as leader five years ago. So significant today is the congregation, that events are now held several times a week at venues across the city, including Cineworld, a warehouse and even a nightclub...”
Dave Ferguson“Anthony Delaney is one of those amazing leaders who loves Jesus, loves the mission and is truly authentic in his faith. I love how Anthony is impacting his community and putting into place a network of reproducing churches to reach the UK. I'm truly inspired by his get-it-done attitude while totally depending on God.”
Mike Breen“Anthony is a rare kind of man. He’s a great leader but he’s honest about his weaknesses. He’s a charismatic personality, but he’s surprisingly self-effacing. He comes from an ordinary background but has never settled for mediocrity. He’s a strong man with a tender heart.”
Tim Morfin“So many people talk leadership theory but are not leading in significant ways. What Anthony brought to the TLG managers was so directly from his personal leadership experience. We were inspired to bring who we are to the leadership opportunities we have, to overcome opposition and build passionate teams who are focused on achieving goals. Inspirational and practical – a great combination!”
Raising up other leaders starts in the heart.
Many leaders don’t do it – because they don’t want to.
They are more interested in the seating capacity than the sending capacity.
Hero makers want to empower, create space, give away even some of the aspects of leadership that you like – that’s a sacrifice.
It doesn’t happen overnight. It’s what sneaks up on you when you try to lead fast on an empty tank, putting your foot down just makes it worse! When you rely more on your natural gift than on God’s supernatural grace. When the engine of your ministry keeps running, but that warning light has been flashing red for miles…

Yesterday I had the privilege again of speaking to homeless people in Manchester City centre at Barnabus at one of their regular outreach gatherings. While I was getting ready someone hammered on the door because another homeless man had been run over by a taxi driver right outside! I went out to see blood pouring from the guy’s head and a huge lump appearing on his leg as he couldn’t move. I went into First Aider mode and spoke to the emergency services to help as best I could. There were people all round shouting angrily at the driver which may have been understandable but wasn’t helping anyone much.
