Church-leadership Quote by Daniel Botkin
““In most congregations, the people will not rise up to work until after they first see the leadership rise up and work. Leaders lead not only by teaching but also by example, "neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock." (1 Peter 5:3)””
