Leading up to the big Awana meetin’ tonight, I was burning some cel phone minutes last night letting all my people know about the location and time of the meeting.  I wound up talking to the father of one of my leaders.  We both have been handed quite substantial responsibilites this fall, and are both being challenged by them.  But it was interesting to realize that we both share a couple other things.  We both feel that God is leading us to full-time ministry, perhaps even in a few years.  Yet, we both recognize that we have weaknesses that we need to address in our own eyes.  Not Achilles’ Heel type weaknesses, but just an absence of skill or practice in certain areas that are kind of important to do what we want to do.

Namely, like I was talking about yesterday, evangelism.

I’m banging that drum here so much, it might even be getting repetitive.  But all I wanted to say today about it is that it is good to share this struggle with someone, because we can then lift each other up and pray for each other in this area.  It is one thing to have a mentor encouraging you, but it is good to have an iron sharpening iron type guy with the same aims.
