  25. Leadership Exercise Think of an area in the church that you are burdened about (i.e. a stage in the faith journey, a small group, a ministry you’re responsible for). Develop your leadership by thinking through the six step process. • Identify the need • Pray for guidance • Plan the action • Build with people • Encourage the team • Finish the work
