To help people in these areas, you pursue four objectives: 1. Establish your personal ministry agenda. This provides a sense of direction. 2. Clarify responsibility. As people apply truth to life, the issue of who is responsible for what will always arise. 3. Instill identity in Christ. Change is a hard process, and people need to be reminded of the resources that are theirs as children of God. 4. Provide accountability. Change demands patience and perseverance, so we all need the encouragement, insight, and warning that a system of oversight provides.
