For this learning activity we will be looking deeper into the equipping and deployment of volunteers or laity. If we as leaders want to effectively utilize the people that the Lord has provided for ministry, we need to provide avenues for the equipping and deployment of these individuals. A good strategy will help the ministry leader provide significant and consistent resourcing for individuals that will empower them to be successful and effective.
