who do we need?

I've been thinking a bit about who we need to join the new campus development team. Certainly we need a core of FAST Lakesiders (I know you just love acronyms).

• Faithful: they can keep commitments
• Available: they are able and willing to carve out the necessary time to invest in people and ministry
• Spirit-filled: they are open to the Spirit's influence
• Teachable: we are launching into a new venture; we need to be eager learners.

I have also begun praying a couple of verses from Luke.

The first is for leaders. Jesus urged his disciples, "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for his fields." Luke 10:2

The second is for a core of people. In the parable of the soils, Jesus talked about "honest, good-hearted people who hear God's message, cling to it, and steadily produce a huge harvest." Luke 8:15

Would you join me in asking God to bring us both the necessary leaders and many FAST Lakesiders? May his Kingdom increase.
