14. Don’t fret about what you don’t have, concentrate on what you have. So many children’s ministers I know always talk about how many workers they don’t have instead of thanking God for the workers they do have and committing yourself to help each of them find their next level as a leader.
Lead who will follow. If all you have to lead are kids, start with the kids. It doesn’t matter how many workers you need, start where you are. Jesus needed twelve disciples but he didn’t recruit all twelve at the same time. He recruited them in ones and twos. If you have a few faithful teens, lead them. If you only have a few key adults, lead them. When you pour yourself into improving the ability of those around you. God will give you more. You see when you do small things well, God will make you a ruler over more. But the starting point is always right where you are.
