C. Build your ministry around solid, effective team members.

Rom. 12.4-6 – For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith.

1. Spend time daily praying for your entire team network, Jer. 33.3.

2. Actively recruit the best workers to join your enterprise, 2 Tim. 2.2.

3. Delegate authority to faithful team members.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

~ Margaret Mead
