Inauguration Service for Timothy S. Lane CCEF Executive Director

This article presents a transcript of the inaugural service for Timothy Lane. Lane was inaugurated as the new CCEF Executive Director on May 7, 2007. John Bettler, former CCEF executive director, spoke about servant leadership and the need for the servant to keep his eyes on the Master and cry for mercy. Other friends and work associates spoke of the significance of the inauguration vows: to love as Christ loved, to serve as Christ served. Craig Higgins offered the charge: to lead CCEF with self-giving love as modeled by Christ Himself. Tim Lane accepted the charge to lead CCEF and reminded everyone of CCEF’s mission: to apply the truths of the gospel in persuasive and compelling ways into the lives of people.
