4. Team Players
Neh 4:17 says … “From then on half of my young men worked while the other half stood guard with lances, shields, bows and mail armour.”
# Midway through the building project, under increasing pressure of attack, Nehemiah organised the team in such a way that they were interdependent. The builders wouldn’t survive on their own and the men at arms couldn’t complete the vision which they were defending on their own. Different roles, but both working towards the same goal. Can I say with as much grace as possible, lone rangers don’t survive in a church plant and may even take others out with them.
# Church planting is about team work. Working together to see something come out of nothing can be one of the greatest pleasures. I was so pleased last year when we were able to pull together a diverse bunch of people to run our latest Alpha course. People with different gifts, different abilities and yet able and willing to work together to see people gathered into the Kingdom!
