In the book of Acts, the disciples were faced with a significant transition in their ministry. Jesus, their leader, had ascended to heaven, leaving them to carry on the work.

The disciples wisely invested in corporate prayer. They, then, filled their leadership voids and rallied people around their vision.

Their fourth key was to build a healthy community of followers who were trained for the work that needed done.

In Acts 2:42 we read, “They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”

After Jesus departed, the first church became a close-knit community of followers that invested time in training, fellowship and prayer. These elements are important for any organization, including yours, to implement during a time of transition.
