Right now we’re in the middle of the greatest crisis of our lifetime. Media companies, and others are shutting down almost daily, and people who were industry leaders a year ago are now looking through the classifieds. Churches, ministries, and non-profits are no different. If you’re in that boat, and while it may look like there’s no hope, let me remind you of something really important. Do you know what the following companies have in common:
Disney, GE, 20th Century Fox, CNN, MTV, Hyatt, Burger King, Microsoft, and FedEx.
They were all started during crisis periods of economic recession. What makes them different from you? Their leaders understood how to navigate the dangerous waters of chaos and change. They understood that times of difficulty and confusion are also times of great opportunity.
It’s time to look for daylight, focus on opportunity, adapt, make tough changes, see where others are complacent, and take a risk. Periods of disruption level the playing field, and can actually put you back in the game.
Let’s seize the moment to make ministry better!
