When such a situation persists, believers often feel they have no choice but to look elsewhere for the spiritual sustenance which their evangelists cannot deliver, sometimes leaving the church to join other groups. Yang Huan believes that an answer to this problem can possibly be found in the experience of the Apostles in the early church. In Acts 6, we read how certain problems linked to church administration arose when the numbers of new believers increased sharply. According to Yuan, the church in China today faces exactly the same situation as the early church. Like the early church, believers in China need to realize that as their numbers increase, so does the workload, yet this workload is being dumped on only a small handful of people.
Evangelists are only human and have limited time, energy and abilities.
This would create some space for evangelists to attend to their spiritual devotions and thereby better equip themselves to offer the congregation the spiritual food they need. For their part, evangelists also need to avoid getting so bogged down in their work, meetings and church politics that they forget just who they are serving andwhy they are busy in the first place.
