I am a STAYER to develop life-long relationships with special / strategic people.

1) I am a STAYER, not a quitter.

a) Jesus initiated WITH-HIM principle

• for followers (to observe mentor)
• benefits (Ruth/Naomi, Elijah/Elisha)

(not for quitters, eg Judas, betrayal)

b) Stay to spend time, stay to the end.

Stay in sync, stay in tune.

• exposure time needed for teachable / defining moments.
