Secondly, I believe that you need to have a vision or calling to do it. These are two different things as a person can have a vision for something but not have a calling to do it. On the other side a person can have a calling to be involved in a ministry but not have a vision for how God wants them to do things.
Most importantly it takes people. People to minister to and people to be involved in the ministry. They are the unsung heroes, people who work behind the scenes to make the ministry flow. They are people like board members, servants, cooks, supporters, prayers, encouragers, accountants and lawyers. They are so valuable.
To each of you I say thank you so much for your generosity. It would be wrong of me to name them by name as inevitably I would leave someone out. You people allow Boaz to be the ministry it is and is becoming. Together with Christ as our overall leader we will be an effective ministry.
Finally we need to be committed to pray for those in our care and for those who we serve or those who serve us.
"Lord I pray right now that you would richly bless all those associated with this ministry. I ask that you would meet their every need, that you would enrich their lives, that you would minister your healing balm to their families who are hurting. I ask that you would encourage their hearts and give them strength to continue serving you."
"Heavenly Father I would ask that you would show us how to proceed in this ministry. I plead the blood of Jesus over all those who come in contact with this ministry as helpers or those in need of assistance. I would ask that you would equip us and raise up those who have a heart to bless the fatherless. "
"Lord you are the head of this ministry, we are your servants. Help us to serve you well. Our desire is to hear you say to us, 'Well done good and faithful servants.'" Amen
