Description
Jesus built strong teams. You can too.
Get His methods, answers, and more for team-building challenges most leaders encounter:
- How do you motivate people to serve selflessly?
- How do you equip people to be new leaders?
- How do you "let go" as a leader?
Through personal observations, step-by-step instructions, and simple how-to applications of Jesus' leadership principles, The Team That Jesus Built equips laywomen-regardless of church location, denomination, size-to cultivate leadership skills and create teams for the glory of God.
Based on the author's experience building the women's ministry at Saddleback Church, California, under the leadership of pastor Rick Warren (The Purpose Driven Life), Thompson provides ministry leaders with tools, direction, guidance, and encouragement to build teams that equip leaders to build teams.
