Worship Circle
MINISTRY LIFE CAN BE REWARDING… But it can also be lonely and tiring. Although we are known from the platform, it’s easy to exchange that knowing from being truly known in a safe and intimate way. It can be easy to believe that God wants what we DO for Him more than who we ARE in Him. The mission of reaching people is a good thing…but can often come before the mission of our own heart being reached and cared for.
