“The very fact that the church today continually cries out for leadership is an indication of the lack of teamwork and cooperation among the followers of Jesus. If we were better followers of Jesus—persons who did a better job of imitating the style and person of Jesus—we might discover that leadership is a shared experience, an ongoing “dance” between being a leader and a follower, and a product of the community of faith. That we in the church look for someone to be a leader who will save us is an indication that we are not following the One who is already the Savior.”

“A Model for Effective Evangelism The “Andrew model” of faith-sharing and evangelism is contained within this story in the first chapter of the Gospel of John. It might be described this way: • Spend time with Jesus because you can’t share what you don’t know. • Share with your network of relationships: in this case, his brother, Simon. • Share with “I” messages: Andrew said, “We [I] have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). • Invite your friend/neighbor/colleague to meet Jesus. • Leave the results up to Jesus because he is the one who saves and transforms.”
