Church Leadership and Ministry Evaluation Paper

For this paper, I did a self evaluation. 1. Would you say that your congregation (or the people within your particular department or area of ministry) is “Thinking Like Jesus” (i.e. Unity, Humility, Selflessness) as they interact, serve, and minister to/with each other? How specifically do you as a ministry leader teach, cultivate, and maintain “The Mind of Christ” in your area of ministry?
Yes, I think we, as a body of Christ, comes together in unity in serving the Lord in a Spiritual way. The Bible says, “Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the herd that rain down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirt of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountain of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore” (Psalms 133). As a Leader in order to teach, cultivate, and maintain we have to stay in the word of God, fasting and praying. If we don’t do these things then the church can’t grow in the areas that it needs to grow in. Farmers cultivate their crops in order to get a good harvest. We, as Pastors/Leaders, cultivate the mind and heart of the people with the word of God and with fasting and praying so that they can grow to a higher level in Christ.

2. Would you consider yourself a “Wounded Healer?” Also, would you please share an example where you have ministered to a person who is/was “wounded” in the same manner that you once were? (cf. II Corinthians 1:3-5)
Yes, I consider myself to be a Wounded Healer. I was in the Armed Service running from the Lord. I thought getting away would occupy my time and free me up from what God had for me to do. Running isn’t always the best option, especially from God.
