Pause

Before we engage in service, we have to pause for training. In other words, we have to prepare ourselves for ministry and service.

 We prepare ourselves for service in a number of ways:

1. Regular prayer and Bible reading
2. Attending training sessions in the area of service that we feel called to serve in e.g. children's work, welcome team, stewarding, finance, food hygiene etc.
3. Attending conferences
4. Listening to tapes, CD's etc.
5. Reading good books
