@PaulWorcester 1. assign leaders to missional communities according to their gifting: apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, teacher.
2. Always send two to four leaders depending on the group size. No more than 10 ppl for every 2 leaders.
3. read, examine, pray through and apply Acts 2:42-49.
"Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done." - C.S. Lewis
"...they should seek God, and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being."
- Acts 17:27-28
"God has the right to do with us as He pleases. And if we consider what we are, surely we must agree we have no reason to complain. To those who seek Him, He gives grace; all works together for good. We need everything He sends; we do not need what He withholds." - John Newton
"...we have to learn to interpret the mysteries of life in the light of our knowledge of God. Unless we can look the darkest, blackest fact full in the face without damaging God’s character, we do not yet know Him."
- Oswald Chambers
Let it be for me so for me, Jesus. Amen
