TO START A LAY MINISTRY FOR THE PASTORAL CARE OF YOUR CHURCH AND TO TEST ITS STRENGTH LATER, YOU MUST BUILD IT ON THESE FOUNDATION BLOCKS. THEN, PERIODICALLY, USE THEM TO CHECK YOUR MINISTRY FOR POSSIBLE SIGNS OF SHIFTING AND EROSION.
Like a building, a strong ministry is strong because first, it sets on a solid foundation, and second, it is built with quality material, If the foundation is weak at the beginning, or if after starting with a solid foundation we see it beginning to erode, we can fear for the future of the ministry, It is imperative that we use these twelve blocks as the foundation of our ministry at the start and then periodically review them (conduct an evaluation) to see that they are in place.
