If we have a vision that will take a thousand people to accomplish, but only a dozen show up, we will need to adjust our vision. We may still be able to accomplish it, but it will probably take longer. These eare judgment calls, but our sound judgment here will probably determine the health of the entire venture. After the mobilization, the resources must be managed properly. There are few things more discouraging to people who are committed to a vision than mismanagement.
Good management can help keep the fires burning for the vision like few other things can.
For any spiritual task, people will always be our most valuable resource. For people to be effective in any task, they must become a team. The first thing that the Lord did to prepare for the building of His church was to call and prepare His leadership team. New Testament ministry is a team. The church gave the world this most powerful concept of leadership and yet basically has failed to use it since the first century.
