Priority # 7 - IDENTIFY and EQUIP a TEAM of WORKERS. Prioritizing the few must be an intentional practice Gospel of Mark 1: become fishers of men. 1:29 Jesus began to prioritize His ministry team right away... 3:7...Jesus tries to get away with His disciples--but the crowd followed. 6:31... “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” 7:17-18 He wanted them to have a deeper understanding of God. 7:24 Jesus loved the masses, but had to make the hard choice to equip the few. 9:2...Jesus singled out Peter, James and John for more time with Him. 9:30 Jesus once again spends time with the few. If prioritizing the few was difficult for Jesus to accomplish... we should expect to face the same challenge.
