Leaders should develop the ability to get an exciting story across in about 10 minutes. The Stockaders are on the way home. Transportation which may be necessary has been arranged by the Brigade chairman or one of his assistants.
Leaders then meet for a brief time of discussion, evaluation and prayer.
If there are specific problems, they should be considered, but lengthy discussions should be reserved for the monthly planning sessions. This brief huddle is an important time in developing the leadership team and maintaining spiritual teamwork among the men. The impact of this brief conversation on the entire Stockade ministry can be enormous.
