Are you captain of a ski boat or a Cruise ship? A ski boat makes a lot of noise, has a burst of sudden energy and 1-2 people get out of the water. A cruise ship slowly pulls out of the dock and gradually builds momentum with a result that hundreds of people are taken to a new place.
The last few weeks we have put a lot of emphasis on training leaders, publicizing groups/classes, and recruiting participants. Some may be tired and thinking “Whew! I’m glad that is behind me. Now I can get down to the business of leading.” But is it behind you?
Multiplying leaders of OPEN groups are continuously (yes, some seasons are more intense than others) looking for new leaders to coach and new participants to assimilate. I am not saying that you should be discontent with those whom God has compelled already, but that Heaven’s economy always has room for more. (Remember the parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14:15-23)
Ask the Lord to reveal ways your group/class can increase in significance and influence to move as many people as possible to the place God wants them to go.
