Teamweekend05: Paul the Sponsor

Maybe you are like me, and you have packed a lot of impressions and good resolutions from the team weekend, which you now want to implement at home - and that is not so easy!

You might think that such courses and weekends should be a bit more sustainable than just 1-2 weeks. To make this change, I recommend you take three steps:

  • Think briefly, from all you've heard so far, which point would you like to implement personally, for yourself at home?
    Choose just one point and write it on page ... into the conference booklet!
  • The second mistake I often made is that I tried to implement my points on my own. I came home and was a lone wolf again.
    It is better to live in a "two-ship." I'm not making this up.
    Think of:
    - Moses - Joshua
    - Elijah - Elisha
    - Elisha and his disciples
    - Jesus promoted 12 disciples of which 3 were especially close (Peter, John, James)
    - Paul had a partnership of two with Timothy (hence the title of the paper "Paul the Promoter"
    How did Paul promote?
    - through love
    - through relationship
    - fellowship
    - calling
    - encouragement
    - praise
    - prayer
    - exhortation
    Are you already living in a committed twoship?
  • Don't let ambiguity stand, ask questions = tie the bag

Look for someone to encourage you!
