中國代禱之頁:不同年代領袖的需要

不同年代的教會領袖,他們的需要都是獨特的。第三代領袖正是在教會擔當核心同工,他們在信徒牧養及教會管理上忙不過來;雖然努力完成每項工作,但卻在許多時候忽略了平衡。而預備接捧的第四代領袖缺乏學習榜樣,習慣於停留在理論研習,忽略實踐和情感,成為牧養信徒心靈需要的限制。
求主憐憫第三代領袖,讓他們懂得停下,檢視與神的關係是否親密;也在需要時,接受督導以避免耗盡。並求主為第四代領袖預備生命師傅,與他們既談事奉困難也談個人掙扎,學習成為情理兼備的領袖。
Pray for China: The needs of church leaders of different generations
Church leaders of different generations have different needs. Third-generation leaders, who are now core church leaders, are so overwhelmed with ministering and church management work that they tend to lack a balanced life. Meantime, models are lacking for fourth-generation leaders who have remained at the stage of learning theories but lack practical experience. It limits their ability to address believers’ spiritual needs.
May the Lord have mercy on third-generation leaders, help them learn to pause and review their relationship with God, and avoid burning out. May He prepare life mentors for fourth-generation leaders, ones who can discuss personal struggles and ministry difficulties with them to help them become leaders with the ability to think logically and feel others’ needs.
