NewSo true and I have seen both.

So true and I have seen both…sadly the reason for both can be similar…isolation ..we forget that ministry is an “interdependent” exercise..with the failings of men we get so discouraged the conclusion is to “hire” all your support staff and create an employee and employer relationship or withdraw into a one man show..
