4.2 – Equipping and Training for Mission
-
Integrity of Heart is applied in our own discipleship journeys, staying connected with Jesus as the True Vine. Having a heart that remains soft and ‘lead’able. Accountability in relationship with our brothers and sisters in Christ is key as well.
We lean into having skilled hands when we remain teachable. Mentorship relationships, courses, leadership training, continued reading and openness to feedback can all be contributors to developing our skills. We “stir up the gift of God” within us also, through prayer and faithfully using those gifts.

I think it all comes down to our motivation to reach the hearts of those in our care. We need to look inward regularly to ask the Lord to reveal areas we might lack integrity, and we need to look outward at our skills and be willing to learn and grow in those areas too. Taking courses, improving our communication skills etc.

If your heart is in the right place and filled with the Spirit, the ministry will be God led not man led so will have more chance of success and more importantly being what it should be. Having skilled- hands – standing on the word – having mentors who can contribute to skill, accessing learning tools to gain skill.
