Here are some tips to help you improve the way you lead your mission project.
Empower your teammates
Think of yourself as an orchestra conductor. A good leader will stay in the background and let others shine. He or she will let consensus emerge most of the time rather than forcing their own opinion. Try to implement Hebrews 10:24 and you will fulfill the most basic instruction given to the church. Focus on answering the question: “How can I encourage my teammates to love and good deeds?” Do that by becoming a student of their interests and strengths. Then match them up with the right roles. As a final step, encourage them and pray for them as they fulfill those roles.
Call & run effective meetings
You can do a lot for your team by learning to run a good meeting by following these three steps.
1. Set the agenda – let teammates know what you’ll talk about – write it down.
2. Run the meeting & move the decision – if it’s not on the agenda, discuss it later.
3. Take notes & distribute minutes – you need a record of what you’ve discussed.

I'm motivated to join God in his global reclamation project. He's on the move, setting his sons and daughters free from their places of captivity. And he's partnering with those of us who have been freed to go and free others.
