TiltTilt:
Small Shifts in Leadership That Make a Big Difference
By Erik Rees and Jeff Jernigan (Abingdon, 2010)

“Once you have understood who you are—and aren’t—in ministry and gathered around you a ‘dream team’ to collaborate with you, the time has come to give away the ministry so the entire congregation can share the experience of seeing God’s ‘infinitely more’ vision become a reality in your community. … It is not enough to build a great team, mobilize a following and plant them in your ministry. The harvest is so much bigger than a single ministry. We must empower people to respond to what God has called and gifted them to do inside and outside our own particular team, church or ministry.” –Erik Rees and Jeff Jernigan, from the book
