Toolkits provide helpful resources for leaders in the field. There are no “silver bullets” to face complex challenges. Instead, what is required by leaders and ministry groups is the following:
- Dedication to meet and pray together consistently,
- Focus on listening to one another, and,
- Willingness to identify pathways forward together.
Toolkits are part of the solution for leaders doing their best work together. When used in the environment described above, toolkits provide direction and a common vision built on prayer and discussion.
