I see exceptions when God is calling me to share the gospel message with an unbeliever. The most important principle is to be Spirit-led. Families should come before ministry. But at times sacrifices should be made by the family for the ministry. In truth, priorities of family and ministry trade places often in my experien ce according to the current needs.
Time spent together is a priority.
Leading the small group of my family first and studying one on one. Surrounding my family with prayer. Lots of interaction, listening, conversation, being sensitive to the emotional state of my wife and children. Share your experiences and resources with other Servant readers.
