Last week, I asked you to lift up your church leaders in prayer. This week, I would like you to pray that God would continue to raise up leaders.
If you are already a leader in the church, pray that God will show you who He wants to raise up in the future, and for boldness and energy to come alongside those people and help them progress.
If you are not yet leading, I want you to prayerfully discern where you are in this progression. All of these places on the progression are necessary to have people in and you might at times fulfill different roles on this progression in different areas or at different seasons of life.
Attender – participator- collaborator-organizer- initiator- leader
Attenders show up for Sunday Morning service
Participators show up for other activities/studies/ministries
Collaborators are available to help setup, tear down, sweep, be part of a ministry team
Organizers help with the details of planning things
Initiators bring ideas of new events, programs, studies (and are willing to lead them)
Leaders are engaged with more than one event, program, study, steer the overall direction of the church.
Wherever you are in this progression, pray that God would help you discern where he wants you to be growing towards this year. It is ok to be where you are, but we should always be praying about where God wants us to be.
Blessings,
Pastor Nick
