Dear Visionary Leader,
In May of 1996, the greatest disaster in mountain climbing occurred on Mount Everest. The climbers stayed too long at the summit and a storm blew in. As they hiked back to an intermediate camp, they were engulfed in a full-scale blizzard with wind exceeding 60 knots and a chill factor of more than 100 degrees below zero. Supplemental oxygen tanks and head lamp batteries began running out.
Fortunately, two experience guides were with this party of eleven people, but unfortunately, they chose the wrong path back down the mountain. John Krakauer’s book, Into Thin Air, states:
For the next two hours, this group staggered blindly around in the storm, ever more exhausted and hypothermic, hoping to blunder across the camp. One of the guides said that it was total chaos. ‘People are wandering all over the place. I am yelling at everyone, trying to get them to follow a single leader. Finally, around 10:00 p.m., I walked over this little rise and I felt like I was standing on the edge of the earth. I could sense a huge void beyond. . . .The group had unwittingly strayed to the eastern most edge of the lip of a 7,000 foot drop, down the Cane Shung Face of Mount Everest.’
The group decided to huddle up and wait for a break in the storm. They were without shelter, not much light and oxygen, and with confused leadership. Some of those climbers survived but others died. Yet, the tents of their camp were only 300 yards away from them. A distance they could have covered in less than 15 minutes. They had lost their way.
They had lost their way? Incredible! Unbelievable! Unthinkable! Those who know the way must show others the way. If we are ever to achieve the goals in God’s heart, then we will have to serve each other and find dynamic ways to add multiplication value to each other.
