Weariness-in-well-doing is not a sin, nor is it a sign of anything other than our humanity. Therefore, to keep your people motivated to care for and minister to the needy, you will want to do several things:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t1. Vary the stimuli:<\/strong> photographs, bulletin promotions, pulpit announcements, posters, inserts, and personal testimonies. Bring in a leader from the affected area to talk to your people. Send one of your leaders there. Rig up Skype interviews for worship services.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t2. Give the people a break from promotions.<\/strong> In mountain climbing, even the best athletes need level places to rest.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t3. Celebrate small victories.<\/strong> Give your people a sense of joy over the team that just returned, the house that was built, the number fed, the money raised.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t4. Create secondary goals (on the way to the huge one) and celebrate each accomplishment.<\/strong> When Israel was rebuilding the temple, they paused to enjoy a victory lap after only the foundation was laid (Ezra 3<\/a>).<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t5. Constantly refresh the spiritual dimensions of the work.<\/strong> Ask the Lord for new insights and applications from Scripture, for a fresh word for your sermons, for greater dedication. Keep your people praying. Find variations in ways and places to pray. Prayer-walk affected areas.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t6. Change the entire approach.<\/strong> If you've been feeding the hungry in a devastated area and your people are tiring, consider swapping assignments with the group building churches or restoring homes.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t7. Rotate workers and leaders as much as you can.<\/strong> Everyone gets tired, no matter how committed. Jesus said to the apostles, "Come aside by yourselves and rest a while" (Mark 6:31<\/a>).<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t8. Recognize that people need nourishment, fellowship, worship, and laughter.<\/strong> Growing up on the farm, we did not work all the time. Sometimes, we cut a watermelon under a shade tree or went swimming in the pond.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t9. Combine your effort with other nearby churches.<\/strong> Get your people together for sharing, fellowship, and prayer.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t10. Do not hesitate to close down one ministry—even if it is not complete—when you believe the Lord has changed your church's assignments.<\/strong> After all, the Lord has a lot of people who are available to Him for ministry, and no one has to bear the entire burden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
