Today is the annual Sports Carnival event for school. I am in charge of a station which has 4 stalls. I had to brief 8 teachers who tends the 4 stalls.
The reason why I am able to blog while sports carnival is happening is because the teachers had been trained/briefed accordingly. All I need to do at this moment is to oversee the whole station. It's like that for the Jakarta trip as well. Ground work - checked. Administrative work- checked. Teachers' duties- checked. When I go over to Jakarta, I am merely the overseer and the photographer. Each of the 3 teachers will be taking a group of 10 students. In the classroom, it is also like that. When a lesson is planned properly, you don't need to fret and be flustered. And the kids learn.
I guess that is the concept of MLMs too. The leaders train their downlines in the knowledge and skills they need to sell the products and they get their commision from their downlines without having to do as much to earn the same amount.
That's why I think follow up with new believers is important. One person can only take care of one new believer at a time. The most ideal situation is to teach the basics to facilitate their growth then when they are more mature in their faith, they can do the follow up with other new believers too.
Heh. Just random muttering just cuz I can afford the time to do so. Better take a walk now. Ciao for now.

i am actually just readng Mark 4:1-20 during my lunch break, and the words describing the parable of the sower reminded me of your post. Young Christians, like you said, need to be nurtured and helped to build a strong foundation so they can flourish and grow. Without the right soil and water and sun, they will wither and die, or get lost in the weeds. Helping young CHristians root their faith and understanding of God and the bible is key to their survival, and like you said, the beginning of a way for them to nuture other new believers in the future.
Just some thoughts...
Cheers
Do we (children of God) ultimately choose our reality, our happiness, our prespective, our eternal life...or ??
Life by itself has no purpose.
It is US (children of God) who give life HIS purposes so that our life become meaningful to US.
Follow up is definitely important but we need to know what is life all about.
