The Overflow
One can not give to a cause without first being filled up and empowered to do so. Likewise It is from the abundance of our soul that we serve and give our talents for the kingdom of God. Unfortunately today more and more volunteers,youth leaders and pastors are serving from an empty tank. The desire to serve often turns to a burden. Many of these players for the Kingdom have a hard time worshipping in thier own congregations. It is not that they do not enjoy where they serve it is that they end up doing something even on their day off.
Leaders end up trapped by their own place that is suppose to be home. Attending another church within the community is out of the question due to the appearance of a leader from another church "shopping" for another place to worship.
This is creating a group of servants that are serving with a half full chalice. God truly operates in the overflow in our lives not from the bottom of the glass. Even for leaders that are operating with a full tank finding a source of inspiration can be challenging.
The Zion Project has created a place that leaders can go to and get filled without the obligation of serving. This is accomplished because we are not a church. We are a group of believers that have a burden for unifying and inspiring our community. Church volunteers and leaders are a vital part of our community and we want to do all we can to support them and the churches they represent. We want to be a resource and a refuge for all that attend our gatherings.
John 7:38
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
