Over the past couple years it's become evident to me that I can't spread myself over the multiple ministries in which I'm currently involved. And yes, I count being a husband, father, member of the body of Christ, and an employee as ministries.

One thing I find interesting when I hear the giants of the faith, even in our own day, is that few of them are bashful when it comes to asking for prayer.

I find this very refreshing - not only because the Apostle Paul set this precedent (Eph. 6:19; Col. 4:3; 1 Thess. 5:25; 2 Thess. 3:1) and thus made it a truly Scriptural practice in regard to gospel ministry, but also because it's a constant reminder to me that even people whom we would see as heroes of the faith are able to do what they do only because of other people of God.

In other words, ministry is never a one-man effort.
