The ABC's Of The Ministry Roy J Harris

When God calls he places the desire. When this is ignored we fail. What does He want, and when does He want it done. Make up your mind to what you want to accomplish in your ministry. Do you want to build a well-organized Sunday school? Are you successful now? If not then find out what one is, and get your ego out of the way. Align your desire with a well thought out plan. What is a well-organized Sunday school? -Are new classes being "birthed' continually? -Do I have an ongoing training program? -Do I have a Sunday school visitation time each week? -Is each one of my classes finding prospects each week? -Do I have a weekly workers meeting? -Do all classes contact absentees every week? What prospect "follow-up" plan do I use? Are all my classes well-staffed with the workers needed to build a Sunday School. Can you write a list of the workers needed? Please note: if all I have in a class is a teacher and maybe a secretary, then I am not organized to do the job. Moses found that out in Exodus 18. ETC ETC ETC! THEN: What about your soul winning program? What about your bus ministry? What about your mission program? What about your leadership? THEN What about your facilities? When a visitor walks onto the property do they see and feel my "desire"? Do my facilities cry out, "we care for souls" THEN: What about your finances? What about your program? What is the key to making the above work? IMMEDIATE ACTION! Here is another statement by Bob burg "Successful people do it now. They know that otherwise, they could fall victim to "The Law of Diminishing Intent," which states: The longer you wait to do something you know you should do now, the greater the chances are you'll never actually do it." So once you have your plan ready, GET STARTED on the plan, Then: Don't look back! Lu 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Outlast your critics! Believe God, and with His direction you can do it.
