Peter Almqvist Response

Peter Almqvist is the International Director for Mission SOS.

One thing that Peter said was that, "We need to see today how people serve people." It is such a necessity to serve people today and when i say serve people, we need to show them God's love, God's grace, and God's mercy by just being open to serve them in loving ways.
To become a strong leader, we need people around us to help us out. We can't be strong leaders unless we have people behind us to help us out and lift us up. I think sometimes we don't realize how much we need other people behind us as leaders because support is what helps us out.
We all need a "Warrior Mentality." The mentality comes to three points, to one - suck it up; two - deal with it; and three - you do it because you are a warrior. I love this warrior mentality! It's so powerful because really when you think about it, sucking it up is what we need to do, it's part of the only thing that's going to partly get us through. Dealing with it is hard to do at times but we don't have a choice. When we don't deal with things then it tends to probably pretty much get worse and that's what we find when we don't deal with situations or things that may come up. I really love the third part though, the facts that you do it because you are a warrior is so powerful. When you use the mentality that you are a warrior and that you can do it, it helps more than you know. I think i'm actually kind of learning that now is that if i give myself a mentality that is positive, perspectives and things change on my own perspectives and i know that's what i need to do. I'm going to do it because i am a warrior and i am going to start with that kind of mentality. I'm going to try and do my best to start using a positive mentality like this.
