Phrases that describe Christian Leadership and Ministry...
-"These promises...have to be...made visible...take away the veil that covers its hidden potential"
--- Emphasizing the fact that a leader must make his vision clear. Not to present it, but to manifest it into the minds of his fellow worshipers in order to make it become reality.

Ex. "you will carry my gospel...to all the ends of the earth" (Acts1: 8, my paraphrase) the Holy Spirit would bring the manifestation of this vision.
--- Jesus stated it, but then gave the means to help them understand and make it their own mission.

"Eyes to see the flower breaking through the cracks in the street... hands to feel new life under the cover of death and destruction"

"Ministry...in service of others, new life can be brought about"

"To move away from the safe place and enter [the] unknown"

It's foolish, it's crazy...but it's ministry, and it's our calling.
