I hope I’m not the most instrumental person in a students life.
Ok, to be honest, I’d be honored to be that person – but by that statement I mean that if I am seeking to be that ‘one’ person in their life, I feel as if I may have failed at my job. It’s not that I am attempting to be un-influential; but more to do with building a team of inspiration.
Team ministry is much more difficult, and I’m not quite sure I have even reached a point where I would feel comfortable saying I am there. Most great leaders realize that they cannot be a great leader on their own, it takes a strong team of leaders together working for a common goal. My prayer for my ministry is that small group leaders and equipped parents are easily counted some of the most influential influences in the lives of the students who come through. I hope to play a part, but I’d be limiting my own ministry to try and be ‘the one’.
A daily prayer of mine is that I will have the humility and wisdom it takes to lead a team committed to Jesus and leading students to a closer walk with Him. I guess time will tell.
