Leadership Tips & Training Leadership Teammates

As a First Place leader, you are a part of a team.   You may think that you are all alone, but let me introduce you to some very helpful teammates.

•  Body and Soul: B ody & Soul Ministries® is a nondenominational ministry, which serves other ministries by providing a resource for meeting physical and spiritual needs in an exercise format. Their mission is to promote physical discipline, spiritual growth and evangelism in an uplifting, encouraging atmosphere.   They have teamed up with First Place to produce the exercise DVD Moving to the Word (Aerobic) and Moving to the Word (Strength Training).   Many Body and Soul instructors are implementing First Place groups within their churches and communities.   Please welcome them to your team and call on them to join you as you lead others to place Christ First Place. www.bodyandsoul.org

•  Networking Leaders:   First Place Networking Leaders are on your team!   In fact they are the First Place coaches in your area.   They give their time and talents to promote First Place, train leaders and offer encouragement to area leaders through Area Leader Meetings.   If you have not made contact with a networking leader closest to you, then do so as soon as possible! www.firstplace.org/networking_leaders.html
