Toolkit Resources
Resources Library > Toolkits Resources
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.
