Help!

I Have to Give a Devotion

 

One of the things I always try to do is discover and use the speaking gifts of people. But some people, who have this gift, need just a little help and encouragement to begin developing it. So I will ask them to give a devotion for a committee or board meeting, or even share something in worship. When I do, I give them this handy little booklet that gives them some simple, practical ideas for developing devotions and short talks.
