Growth

Growth is a tricky subject in the world of ministry. There’s the growth of numbers and then there’s true spiritual growth. Each one alone doesn’t tell the full story, and oftentimes don’t go hand in hand. As a new minister, I was too hung up on numbers. Too high up on my priority list was getting more students to our services. I had become more worried about size growth than true heart growth.

Fast forward to now, its quality over quantity. I had much rather students grow closer to Jesus and have less bodies in the room; than have more bodies in the room and they all are full of indifference. Numbers reflect the result of what you are doing, but the true story is told in the response of hearts.
