A serious problem with many Christian leaders is that of organizing and managing these spiritual resources. If labourers for spiritual harvest are few as the Bible indicates, then they should be properly organized and mobilized.

This course is the first in a series of three in the "Organizing Module" of training offered by Harvestime International Network. This study, along with the courses "Environmental Analysis" and "Management By Objectives" which follow, will help you become a good steward of spiritual resources. We recommend that these three courses be studied in order for the proper understanding of the leadership, planning, and organization necessary for effective ministry.
