A Ministry reflects both the STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES of its leader.
The longer we lead a ministry, the more it will look like us in its strengths and weaknesses.
First, we must realize and admit what our weaknesses are.
Second, we must make sure that we are maximizing our strengths and not just getting by in that area because it is easy for us. But, make sure your strengths are benefitting the ministry....not just being enjoyable and easy for you.
Third, acknowledge those weak points and do two things. Commit to growth in those areas and even more importantly, recruit people who are strong and gifted in the areas that are not your strong point. This can be either students or volunteers. Then, do everything possible to set them up for success in those areas.
You will likely need someone on the outside to help you see and evaluate clearly in these two areas.
