General Appeals (Not)

This post is a short one, but an important one. I find that ministers and office-bearers in the Church are often disappointed and discouraged by the lack of response to general appeals for help in the Church. It is true that general appeals often don't yield a good response. However, many people are ready to help. I discovered early in ministry to ask people personally. In that case, one finds great good-will, in fact (in my experience) mostly yes responses -- unless people really can't take something on.
