I find myself doing more and more mentoring of young leaders helping them think through their vision and plans.  It is easy to become overwhelmed at the size of the job that is before us.  It’s like building a large building.  At first, it seems such an enormous task but if each craftsman does what he is supposed to do at the right time, the building will begin to take shape and eventually be completed.  Our work expands with continuing generations of new people being born.  We are only responsible for the time in which we live but hopefully building in such a way that new generations can build on the work we have done.  The job will not be finished till Jesus returns.  When Jesus finished His atoning work on the Cross, he said, “It is finished.”  At some point he will utter these words again but in regard to our work here on earth.  I and many others, like you, are doing the work assigned to us and hoping that our generation will see the completion of the Great Commission.
