Attention: HLM Site/s ADMINISTRATORS

Romans 12:7 from different translations!

World English Bible
or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

English Revised Version
or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;

Weymouth New Testament
if it is the gift of administration, let the administrator exercise a sound judgement in his duties.

=========================
the WORD "service" or "ministry" above is the idea of the GIFT OF ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT should an ADMINISTRATOR DO?  "to exercise a sound judgement in his duties".
=========================

one of the secrets we have for GROWTH at His Life is the exercise of the gift of ADMINISTRATION.
hallelujah!  this helps us focus on our DUTIES to fulfill the Vision God has called us to do.
- pastors need the ADMIN
- preachers need the ADMIN
- worship leaders need the ADMIN
- children's church need the ADMIN
- the Hakot Team needs the ADMIN

WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT ADMINISTRATOR ... things are falling into their right places and function well. 
ADMINS make sure that all is done according to the Values and Vision of the Local Group!

=========================

administrator FROM THE DICTIONARY ...

[ad-min-uh-strey-ter]  

ad·min·is·tra·tor

[ad-min-uh-strey-ter] noun

1. 

a person who manages or has a talent for managing.

======================================

ADMINS make things easy

ADMINS spot talents ... and uses them

ADMINS coordinate things, people, schedules and problems

ADMINS make things happen

ADMINS make things run smoothly ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE, MISSION, VISION AND VALUES OF THE ORGANIZATION.

Thank you for ADMINS that help our Pastors in all our SITES.  Without ADMINS, without the GIFT of ADMINISTRATION used in local groups .... we expect things to be in disarray, confusion abounds, communication low and worship not meaning filled and power-filled!

=========================================================

PRAY for GREAT ADMINISTRATORS committed to the following below:

(adapted from our Values and Vision at His Life Ministries)

The core values of an organization are those values we hold which form the foundation on which we perform work and conduct ourselves.  We have an entire universe of values, but some of them are so primary, so important to us that through out the changes in society, government, politics, and technology they are STILL the core values we will abide by.  In an ever-changing world, core values are constant.  Core values are not descriptions of the work we do or the strategies we employ to accomplish our mission.  The values underlie our work, how interact with each other, and which strategies we employ to fulfill our mission.  The core values are the basic elements of how we go about our work.  They are the practices we use (or should be using) every day in everything we do.

CORE VALUES: Govern personal relationships Guide business processes Clarify who we are Articulate what we stand for Help explain why we do business the way we do Guide us on how to teach Inform us on how to reward Guide us in making decisions Underpin the whole organization Require no external justification Essential tenets

CORE VALUES ARE NOT: Operating practices Business strategies Cultural norms Competencies Changed in response to market/ administration changes Used individually

CORE VALUES of His Life
Supplement # 2 found in our Encounter Booklet

1) The LORDSHIP of JESUS CHRIST
We believe that we are to call upon Jesus as the LORD of our lives. 

This is the beginning of the Christian life and the sustenance of it for victory and success. 

Holiness and purity in relationships will be its effect and a strong foundation for becoming a real Christ Follower.

2) The PASSIONATE PURSUIT of GOD in WORSHIP
We express our deep worship of God by seeking to know Him intimately through prayer and fasting, praise and worship, and thanksgiving celebrations.

3) The WORD of GOD
Through theological and practical teaching and preaching we aim for it to be understood, applied and lived out for life transformation. Having the Bible guide us in our Quiet Times is greatly encouraged.

4) COMPASSION for the LOST
People matter to us because they matter to God, that’s why it is our passion to bring people back to God through Celebrative, Culture Current and Life Changing Sunday Worship gatherings. 

We are deliberate and strategic in evangelism & missions, church planting & mercy ministries.

5) The FAMILY
Next to God, we put high value and priority to Family, that’s why we give great importance of evangelizing and discipling families for the Lord Jesus Christ.

We firmly hold it is God’s will for the husband and his wife to be as ONE in bringing their family closer to God and serve in a ministry through the Vision of 12 where God has called them.

6) The NEXT GENERATION
We determine to educate our Adult members to continue supporting, teaching, reaching, and discipleship of the children & youth wherever we plant a church or make our presence felt.

7) SPIRIT-FILLED and SPIRIT-EMPOWED SERVICE
We honor Jesus as the Head of the Body and the Holy Spirit as our Counselor and Administrator of all we do. We seek to be actively responsive to the Holy Spirit's daily leading of our personal lives and ministries through His revealed Word--the Bible and promptings.

8. DISCIPLESHIP
We desire for all to believe the words of Jesus, obey His commands and do His works in love. 

We aim first to grow as disciples of Christ ourselves and then to make disciples of others through relationship building in small groups --- Life Groups.

9. LEADERSHIP
It is our conviction that each child of God is called to bring Christ-like influence wherever God has placed them, therefore each follower of Jesus is called to be a leader. We uphold the Jesus kind of Leadership -- that is through servant-hood and influencing others to follow God and His ordained biblical leaders.

10. UNITY WITH OTHER CHURCHES
We are convinced that all followers of Christ are one in His Body, the Church.

We aim to maintain unity by honoring all who "call on Jesus' name" and by seeking reconciliation with all parts of the church.
