So you have stepped out if faith and said, "o.k., I'll lead." Or rather, "no! I'm not leading,...I'm FACILITATING!" O.k., o.k., fine, you are facilitating!
Now you are in for an adventure! There is something highly motivational about having a bunch of eager leaders right at your heals to make one want to learn! Keeping one step ahead can catapult us in the areas of learning Bible knowledge, how to learn leadership skills and draw us to that all important position of being on our knees!
Living in the information age has made resources more available than ever. On this blog notice the long list of links to access great Bible teacher resources. Our church library of a few thousand volumes lovingly cataloged by sweet saints like Eva Fry, Estelle Trammell, Linda Clark and others. The staff would LOVE to point you to more Bible resources! Make a list of questions and pepper them with questions!
Great books and DVD's give us access to the brightest, gifted and insightful communicators on the planet! Take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge at your fingertips.
Schedule some time with a Life Group leader who has years of experience. Take a pencil and paper, some questions and listen well! Ask for prayer in the areas where you struggle. You will make a friend and possibly even a mentor.
A leader is a learner! All right, all right, and a facilitator need be a learner as well!
