Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2
“A true Christian is a dwarf in humility, but a giant in strength to fulfil duty, to bear trial, and to endure temptation.”
Thomas Watson in Puritan Gems; or, Wise and Holy Saying of the Rev. Thomas Watson, Anglican Minister. edited and arranged by the Rev. John Adey (London: Snow and Ward, 1850) 21.
Got home safely to the cold and snow of Denver.
Today’s a quarterly board meeting for GTP. I am thankful for the commitment of these 12 people from 10 countries. They never miss a committee or full board meeting. I think one missed once due to a hospitalization and another to a flight schedule change.
How does GTP see such generous service? How can your church or ministry experience it?
Their faithfulness relates, in part, to a core tool we use called the Board Policies Manual. In only about 12-15 pages it maps the duties of the CEO and the duties of the board. When everyone knows and holds each other accountability to fulfill these responsibilities through meeting and reporting, it helps the ministry flourish.
