People Helping People Succeed

Every time I go to church where I work, I always see this company motto written on the building entrance that says, "People Helping People Succeed". It makes me think of the small group of teenagers and young adults I am taking care of. For almost 2 years now, I've been taking care of this group although I've already known most of them for four years since the day I came back to God.

People helping people succeed - what a good thought to keep in mind. But it won't happen if the one who desires to help other people will not receive the help he needs to be able to help. :) I hope I make sense to you.

This group that I am looking after is not easy to handle. They aren't the same in many aspects. So when we are together especially during our cell group meetings, I must approach each of them in a manner different from the others. But because of this uniqueness, you would really be amazed of how God has grouped my cell members. But there are common denominators that you will observe among them. Each has a talent to share to everyone. All of them are deeply in love with God.

The vision of Government of 12 is a great leading from God to follow Jesus' example. Christians and Christian churches should not stop battling after winning thousands of souls for Christ.The battle should be continued until they have been completely discipled and become like Christ. True measure of success is seen when these people you have looked after for quite some time start raising up leaders too.
To be able to reach this goal, the leader should understand that he himself should never stop growing and learning. That is because the day you stop growing is the day you stop leading. A youth dancer in my church once told me, "Teaching other youth how to dance is like learning twice as much."
