Simple Leadership Under-estimated

As we continue to look at aspects and influence of godly leaders, we can’t overlook the simple life and ministry of Dorcas. Too many today don’t see themselves as leaders and minimize the im-pact of their life upon others or upon the overall Kingdom of God. Dorcas shatters that myth. This one woman, because of her faithfulness and love, set in motion a sequence of events that resulted in the beginning of a great missionary movement in her day. It wasn’t so much a work of Dorcas, but rather the work of God through her. It was her faithfulness and ministry that put all these things in motion. It was her life impact that set up a sequence of events that God would use to open the hearts of the Jews to the nations. Hers is a life story of faithfulness and love. And though she never went to the foreign field; her devotion to others and to the ministry she performed was something God could use to further His kingdom and grow His people.
