I
want to talk about some heroes of mine. They were truly HELPERS.
I like to think of this acrostic. Move your mouse near each letter to
see the characteristic of these leaders.
H
Their lives were not perfect, but they were committed to the Lord and
it showed in their conduct. They were "set apart" for service
by God.
E
In many small and large ways they encouraged those in their groups. They
guided their students to become all that God intended for them.
L
They lived what they taught.
P
They made the effort to prepare, as best they could, to teach or lead
their group.
E
They were not just pouring information into little brains. They were equipping
God's little saints for service.
R
They were the same person on Sunday as Monday, Saturday, or any other
day of the week. Their faith was genuine and real.
S
Their leadership grew out of a deep sense of God's leadership. They always
desired to be obedient to Christ.
