Frustration

There are sometimes where you feel like you can't motivate people to get behind you in a project...you put time and energy and prayer into it...and it just don't grow and don't go...sad
I had that happen with a choir I started...in the beginning everybody was totally into it, and then all of a sudden it just started to fizzle...In that case God showed me to not do it any more. However, there are times when God tells you to keep on going and not give up. When I first helped plant a church in Munich I felt that way all the time. We had a church of 10-15 people and most of them were very immature spiritually. They hadn't realized what worship was all about. I often got compliments at that time in regards to my music. Funny enough, that was a really bad sign. Most of the people saw it as the weekly "Hannah Concert" and eventually they got tired of me and started coming late just to hear the sermon. Their focus was wrong, and God showed me (and my pastor) to keep on worshipping being an example and eventually it would click. The people started to grow in their knowledge of the Lord and eventually one by one it clicked what worship was. I really believe that a church that knows their God can't but help to worship...so we can't give up...worship is a lifestyle. Being a worship leader means living a lifestyle of worship. In Heidelberg we have it good...you play one note and they enter in, but there are still times we have to be faithful till God moves.
