An Audience of One

It used to be the only time I was able to connect with other children's leaders was through the handful of those I met at a conference. Over the last few years the blessing of being able to follow the blogs, tweets, and social networks of some amazing children's leaders and organizations has increased my knowledge and equipped me as a children's pastor.

The longer I am in children's ministry the more I value these relationships. So I guess that is why my heart has been a little sad the last few weeks as I watched some groups/organizations and even a few children's pastors bring in the "ugly" side of business into ministry. The Kingdom is a very big place and there are SO many families and kids to serve. It is a dangerous place when we take our eyes off God.

The truth is, each of us serve an audience of One. And what a blessing it can be to God and those of us we connect with, when we reach out to connect someone with a ministry challenge to the person or organization with the solution.
