There will always be ‘too much’ to do in ministry. There will always be people who need to hear the life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ. If we want to reach them we need to move beyond merely maintaining existing structures. We will need to recruit and train willing and able people to help us. Jesus, Paul and the other apostles spoke about this, did this, and encouraged us to pray that God would raise up workers for the harvest. Far from being too busy or an “optional extra”, this is the job that God gives us to be busy with.
