Whats Your Capacity? Whats Your Role?

February 27, 2009

One of the tragedies of the modern church is that we just don’t seem to understand a lesson the Moses learnt from his father-in-law. Sadly we fail to realise that not every godly Christian leader should aspire to be the so-called “number one” leader of a church. Many churches are started and do not grow [...]
