Row smarter: The benefits of a Ministry Accountability Team

A first boat, manned by a crew of one, zig zags and moves forward ever so slowly, painstakingly in fact; a point of frustration. A second boat, manned by a crew of 3 rowers, guided by a crew chief and an experienced captain, shoots through the water, making rapid progress, seemingly with ease, reaching the opposite bank in record time.

This boating story is a helpful analogy for understanding the importance of building support teams in ministry.
