Too Many People Interested in Full-time Service?

 

Purpose

Too Many People Interested in Full-time Service? is part eight of a series on Train Up New Leaders for Ministry which provides ideas for churches facing the challenge of simultaneously training up many leaders, perhaps after a mission conference that was well responded to.

You might be one of those blessed churches that have several people who have committed themselves to full-time service. Now you wonder if it is a blessing!

How can you possibly train them? This is not as difficult as it seems at first. Remember, God is in charge. If God is calling several individuals from your church, then you can handle the training.

Our church has started a group for those interested in full-time ministry. The pastor does not do this alone but with other trainers. It is a time to share encouraging stories about how you and others have been led by the Lord, a time to share with each other what God is doing in their lives and bring up many of the questions those pursuing full-time service ask.

Some attendees might have gone to a special conference; some might not have. In any case get them together. From there you will help introduce certain areas of training all at once.

A Leader’s Project

Much more can be said regarding any of these issues, but this general and specific plan helps organize church leaders into being enriching mentors rather than frustrated leaders.
