MTS one year on
26 February 2008

  • People are everything.
  • Relationships are everything.
  • MYC is everything.
  • Intensive intellectual learning isn’t my forte.
  • Massive intellect isn't always what's required.
  • I enjoy preaching.
  • Plain and simple language for clear communication is what’s required.
  • Prayer is essential.
  • If you don’t do it yourself then don’t expect others to do it.
  • Train the keen beans.
  • Organization is essential.
  • Being rigorous with time off is essential.
  • Evangelism is always hard.
  • You can't work with everyone (even if you are theologically on the same page).
  • Failure is essential
  • Ministry isn't for the money.
  • Authenticity and transparency are essential to lead well.
  • Ownership builds participation and attendance.

good to know you've learnt all that in one year - some people don't learn that after two, then go into ministry, then can't figure out why they now find it heard.

All good lessons to learn
