The Power of Team

In the last few weeks something has been changing in the midst of our student ministry.  It is a subtle change but an important one.  We have released leaders to do what they do best and it is having a huge impact.  From our students stepping up into new roles of leadership and responsibility to some volunteers giving days of there week to the ministry.  This started with Miranda Strong stepping up and owning the pre worship music and taking over some of Britt's role, it moved forward in Cody Rodgers making videos for us, Steven Black coming straight from school in Cobb county to set up, progressed in Daniel Boerner owning the production aspect of the night, Alyse Tucker, Shane Buquet and James Cagle faithfully cleaning up and pouring into the students.  (There are at least 10 other people I could mention in this list but I'll brag on you latter.)  Instead of the student pastor being responsible for everything it has become a team atmosphere.  In this team everyone plays different positions but they are all vital to the success of our ministry.  Since developing this team we have seen more students come to know Jesus than in the last six months.  The Team is effective, the Team is enlarging the Kingdom of God, The Team is getting souls a place in heaven.  I am reminded of how the early church go out in teams to do ministry or when the Apostles develop Deacons to help them.  I feel like we are catching a wave that God has brought our way.  It is going to be one crazy ride!!!  This Wednesday after Fusion we are having an adult volunteer meeting.  If you are interested in riding this wave with us make sure to be there.

Check out Acts 6 or Luke 9 for your Jesus Time on the idea of Team
