"For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare..." (2:20)
This was the passage that our head pastor preached on this morning at early morning prayer, and it really hit home for me. As he spoke, I realized that this is one of the most critical attributes of a ministry leader, and one of the main things that I need to focus on developing as I raise up more leaders in United Life.
Number 1 is definitely a personal relationship with Christ. But I'm beginning to see that, besides that, a leader needs above almost anything else a passion for the welfare of others.
We talked about loving like Jesus during our Thursday discipleship group. It's something we all know we should be doing, but it's so hard. Yet now I'm beginning to see that developing that heart is our leaders is perhaps my main mission as the pastor of United Life.
