HOW TO BE A CHRISTIAN LEADER?

If you ask a Christian what he is looking for in a leader, you will get varied answers. The examples of Christian leaders are also varied and could include everyone from a high member to a neighbor next door who does not go to church but spends all weekends feeding the homeless. Be a Christian leader by paying attention to God's call to leadership, caring for the people he serves and setting an example that other Christians will want to follow.

Pray for guidance. Christians communicate with God regularly through prayer, meditation, going to church and loving one another. To be a Christian leader, you will need faith that you are called to lead.

Discuss your calling with friends, family members and mentors in your church.This will help you prepare for leadership and give you the opportunity to gather support.

Think about your skills and talents. There are many ways to lead. You might be called to the clergy or asked to lead as a musician, counselor, educator or some other role.
