At Church Planting solutions we have used Nehemiah as an example of a great project manager many times. Today Rick Warren wrote 7 principles for every project. It’s a great read.
The principle of motivation
When you organize any project, help people “own” it. In Nehemiah, you see again and again men making repairs near their houses. If you lived in Jerusalem, where would you be most interested in building the wall? Probably by your house!
While all the principles are very good for church planters, this one is huge. If you are a church planter, you are responsible for everything. To have an effective ministry you must delegate. The most effective way to get things done with quality by volunteers is to create an Entrepreneurial environment where people care just as much, if not more, about their piece of the wall than you do.
