I created this blog for Church Assistance Ministry (CAM) as a way to advance CAM’s mission to equip church leaders around the world. When my field supervisor, Steve Elliott and I met for me to show him the blog, I walked him through the entire process of how to create a blog post, how to publish it, and what it should look like when it is finished.
After the meeting, Steve knew exactly how he can compose, post, and publish blog posts to the CAM blog. However, after the meeting I realized that I had made a mistake. I failed to offer my help to Steve by posting content on the blog for him. My role with CAM is to help advance their mission by lightening Steve’s workload. I should have told him that I am glad to post content for him on the blog if he provides it to me. My hope in creating the blog is that Steve has a bunch of content he has already written/created that can be posted on the blog to reach more people. If Steve or the other CAM members have content that can be posted with my help, then I need to do that work for them (especially for Steve).
As a follower, my main job is the lighten the work load of the leader above me. With CAM, Steve is my leader and almost everything that I do needs to revolve around lightening his work load and furthering CAM’s mission.
Question: How do you lighten the load of your leader?
