EQUIPPING:  Putting a soldier on the front lines without the right equipment would lead to a sure defeat. Likewise, calling a staff member or putting a lay person in a position without the right equipment is unwise. Training and then releasing your team to do their job and providing what they deem necessary to accomplish that job it absolutely critical.  Training can include a great deal of choices. Place the right tools in your ministry team’s hands and check their progress. You don’t want provided training tools sitting on a shelf even if it does have a nice looking notebook cover. Send your team members to conferences and encourage their serious study of the meeting. View team meetings as motivational times as well as vision planning. Does your team have working tools? Do they have what they deem necessary to be successful in their God-given assignment?  I’m not taking away from the Holy Spirit’s Power but if He can use a dull instrument, how much more can He use a sharp one? Develop a library of training resources for your leaders that can be shared down through the years.
