Reaching the NextSample

In Volunteer Teams 

“Give the ministry away. Raise up volunteers and train them, equip them, inspire them with heroic vision, and empower them to lead and serve. Then give the ministry away. Don’t just do ministry to people, do it through people. After all, you’re called to equip your people and unleash them for ministry. Look at what Paul says in Ephesians 4 about why Christ has put you in the role you are in,

“So Christ himself gave…pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Ephesians 4:11a,12–13 NIV11)

Your role is to equip people in your church so that they would be unleashed in the lives of ministry. The verse above is not the entirety of your job description as a pastor, but it is a crucial component of your role.”
