The importance of leadership
Leadership is crucial. No matter how creative or committed the planning group, it cannot deliver anything significant without the active, prayerful and committed support of the church leadership. A vote to plan a stewardship initiative should be an indication of a leaders' personal commitment to pray for and support the programme and to review and increase their own giving. Leaders must model the response, model the generosity they ask of the congregation. They cannot ask others to do what they are not prepared to do themselves.
