Читать книгу How To Build A Winning Team. Serving God Together - Маттс-Ола Исхоел - Страница 7

The lessons of the Old Testament continue into the times of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus urged his followers to “…pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matt 9:38) Paul commanded Titus to “…appoint elders in every city” (Tit 1:5) To Timothy he wrote: “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” (2 Tim 2:1)

God has always looked for faithful and committed leaders, and no matter where we live, we should make it our number one aim to train as many leaders as we can. It is hard to overemphasize the importance of ongoing leadership training in our churches. Wherever I travel both inside and outside Russia, I see the same thing: the fastest growing churches are those that are most devoted to leadership training.

Jesus spent most of His time with His twelve disciples, not preaching to the crowds. He understood that the best He could do with the time He had was to raise up devoted leaders who would continue the work He had started.
