Ministry of Serving

 

Fruitfulness and effectiveness in ministry comes when the effort is focused on true needs.  Small teams can tackle big opportunities if the needs have been well delineated.  Being fruitful also means stepping aside or becoming involved in a different mission so others who are interested in a particular mission have the opportunity to serve.  Being fruitful means making mission opportunities so interesting and exciting that others will want to be involved and know that they can be involved through hand on activities, gifts, and/or prayers.  Being fruitful sometimes means giving up a traditional activity or using it in a different way in order to be Christ’s hands and heart to the world.
