Ministry Tips from Nelson

  • Remember: One day you’ll present your flock to the Good Shepherd as the evidence of your work on this earth.
  • Accountability leads to protection. Know what you expect of volunteers and lay leaders, and hold them accountable to those expectations.
  • The best way to protect your people is to set up checkpoints of accountability for those climbing the ranks of leadership in your church
  • Protecting your flock may be your greatest responsibility as a shepherd. Take intentional steps to protect those entrusted to you.
  • How should you feed your flock? Teach them the Bible, lead them to pray and get them involved in small groups with other believers.
  • If you fail to connect your people to significant ministry, you are robbing them of the opportunity to grow.
  • Help every person in your flock identify and get plugged into a volunteer role where he or she can flourish and the church can benefit.
  • God wants all of your people to be actively engaged, serving in an area of ministry he has gifted them for.
  • As the shepherd of your flock, it’s your responsibility to keep the evangelistic temperature of your church boiling hot.

 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. – John 12:26

God’s best to you,

Nelson
