Team leadership.  The responsibility and role of leading a team.

Comments

Although this content of this chapter may not directly apply to many of us in regards to leading a team of American missionaries, I think we can apply some of the information if we are in a “leadership” role of nationals.  Obviously, we would not have a superior/subordinate role with a national but we can still motivate,support and encourage that national in our church planting objectives.

I agree with what he mentions regarding spiritual health.  When I have many tasks to do, it is easy to let quiet times slide but how can I expect God to use me if my spiritual health is not solid.  My spiritual health must be a priority if God is going to accomplish his goals.

The other point mentioned was that church planting is often unrewarding. It’s hard and not immediately satisfying.  For men, this can be hard because we are usually task oriented and we want to see results.  We have to be focused and hang in there even when discouragement comes which it will.
