This week has been full of interviews and praying. It's strange for me to think that most "hiring" processes don't involve prayer. Whereas, if we didn't rely on prayer, we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot.
Four students are considering Small Group Leader positions, which includes leading a weekly Bible study, helping a community form, reaching out to new students, and growing members in witness, prayer, and possibly leadership. For the seven students we didn't feel were ready for leadership, we decided on a few growth steps we thought they should take.
Last year, we had to ask if the students applying were even missional. This year, we shifted to asking if students were mature and influential, actually leading people already. Not everyone has really owned the mission of God as their calling and privilege; most of them still tend to focus on creating and attending Christian activities. But they're more aware of what God's mission actually is, and they're more interested in seeing it happen through them. We saw culture change in just one year!
