There are No Pefect Outreach Plans


The enemy of the Great Commission is the perfect plan.  The best way to make a difference in people’s lives is to find a need and set out to meet that need.

Simple.

Many ministries are hindered by prolonged meetings in the conference room talking about all the things that could wrong, or either over-administrating a new initiative before it’s even started!  I can tell you for certain that a lot of things will go wrong when you do outreach.  Why?  Because we are dealing with hurting people who have needs.  That gets messy.

The better question is:  “What could go right?”  I’ve seen a lot of people get helped and a lot get accomplished for God’s kingdom through efforts that looked like organized chaos.

NEVER LET THE PERFECT PLAN TAKE YOU AWAY FROM PERFECT LOVE.
