They had started three or more groups, and the leadership seemed a bit puzzled. The woman was exceptionally shy, and the man had trouble expressing himself. I was impressed that it is not outstanding speaking gifts that bring a new home group into existence. Caring and prayer... are the keys to starting new groups. These leaders allowed other people to participate, recognizing that others had gifts that needed to be used” (page 82).
