Leadership

 

Volunteers are there out of a wiliness to serve. Their motive is just, and commitment is very much needed. Breakthrough's volunteers have a strong sense of ownership to this ministry. So we walk a path that is difficult, but not impossible. Leadership takes commitment to stay the course in the midst of frustration and conflict. It's dealing with, at times, difficult people, who need to be shown what love is through our service to them. We do this by laying down or rights and expectations.

Staying the course with the characteristics of leadership is paramount. Because if we deter the ship away from the storm the waves will buffet on our sides where we are not protected or able to withstand, we will then capsize. A ship must go into the waves head on, to be able to go through them safely. True leadership is the ability to keep the helm steady.

Most people can manage when things go well, this is not success, it is how we are with people and crises when the seas are tossed. Strong characters that are poured out to the Lord are essential. This will be the ability to move people from distrust and frustration in to a godly centered path. We are to move people past conflicts past the storm and into the waters, into the place that the ministry is for; Leading the lost home.
