Who's on your Team?

Hi friends,

 

I have a question for you: Who's on your team / in your small group / a part of your ministry? 

 

As servant-leaders, I encourage you to answer that question in two ways. 

 

First, know really well who's in your group / on your team / a part of your ministry.  Each of the people you grow with, serve with, and serve has a name and a story.  You can't know everyone's story or everyone's name, but know those on your team. 

 

Second, realize that you don't know who is on your team, in your group, or in your sphere of ministry.  Invest in people's lives before it makes sense to.  There are people around you that God will bring into your group, onto your team, and into your sphere of ministry years from now.  And it may only happen as your invest, pour into, and serve them in the now.  It's an extremely limited, but beautiful picture of what is called "prevenient grace"--the presence of God's Spirit in our lives before we ever think about God.  Think about how long God pursued and invested in you before you became part of his family!

 

I am so glad to be on your team.  It is a pleasure serving with you!
