How can lay leaders serve the church in the work of shepherding: the ministry of the word; prayer; care for the sick and grieving; care for widows; care for "weaker brothers and sisters"?
Q&A
- How can we shepherd those who don't see how they are being cared for?
- How can sole pastors and smaller churches start to train people in the church?
- Should you seek to identify those with the gift of encouragements to release them to train others?
- How do we include divorced people in the widows category?
- What ratios should we put in place to divide study and pastoral care?
- How do you prioritise the time you have available?
This is the fourth talk of five from Trusted Hands: the post-conference event that followed the 2024 Leaders' Conference. It included five sessions with Brian Croft to help explore how to train and deploy volunteer leaders across the church.
