Everyone knows what it is like to be overwhelmed and stressed out when it comes to life, family, ministry, work, etc. As Small Group Point People there are always common struggles and issues we run into on a regular basis. I have yet to speak to a Small Group Point Person who has not struggled with finding leaders at one point or another in their time in ministry. It is a source of struggle and pain for many leaders. But the Lord NEVER lets us down. The right people always fall into place at the right time. I’ve personally experienced the frustration of not knowing who our next new leader will be and then a phone call comes in or an email that comes in from someone who gets the vision and wants to be a part of what God is doing through groups in the local church.
With everything in life, there is a practical side and a spiritual side. It doesn’t seem to make much sense to say you are trusting God for things, if you aren’t praying for them, believing for them and doing your part as well. It’s so important to keep believing that God will send the right people at the right time. It’s also so important to be consistently looking for new leaders. Some say that it’s common to lose 20% of your leaders each semester. That means you must be always be searching for new leaders, praying for new leaders and believing for new leaders.
If you are not connected to the right people, it can bring you to a breaking point. If you are not in a Huddle, I strongly encourage you to get in a Huddle near you. If there isn’t one near you, maybe it’s time to step out in faith and start one.
When you feel like the enemy has you backed into the corner, Don’t Stop Believing!
When you feel alone in ministry, get connected to other Small Group Point People and Don’t Stop Believing!
When you don’t know where your next leader, host, or coach is going to come from, Don’t Stop Believing!
When you feel like you cannot go on, Don’t Stop Believing!
When you are confused as to what next step you need to take in your ministry, get around experienced leaders and Don’t Stop Believing!
“Trust in the lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3: 4-5 ESV
