Even Jesus didn't feed the five thousand alone...

Are you carrying a heavy burden you were never meant to carry by yourself?

In this powerful reminder from Pastor Eugene Green, we see the true blueprint for growth. When the early Church of Jerusalem rapidly scaled from 120 members to 500, they realized that one leader could not carry the entire infrastructure.

By Acts 6, the church appointed Deacons—dedicated, qualified, and sacrificing individuals like Stephen and Philip—to share the weight of the ministry so the church could grow in immense power.

Whether you are leading a ministry, building a business, or guiding your family, leadership was never designed to be a solo endeavor. You need people around you who know the Lord and are willing to step in and share the load.

Who is helping you share the weight of your journey right now? Tag them in the comments below to honor their dedication. 👇🏾
