Delegate and Multiply

As the number of participants increases, it becomes challenging for everyone to have their voices heard. At this point, splitting the group into two smaller ones may be beneficial. Leaders should train co-leaders in advance to lead the new group effectively.

Delegating tasks to co-leaders:

Even if you excel at all your responsibilities, avoiding overwhelming yourself with too many tasks is wise. You can create a more practical discussion environment by sharing responsibilities with your co-leaders. Sometimes, you might become so engaged in the conversation that you miss cues from participants who want to contribute. When individuals feel overlooked, they may choose to withdraw from the discussion. However, if you have designated one or two co-leaders to assist you, they can alert you when someone wishes to speak or if someone has been interrupted and needs to continue sharing.

To enhance the quality of group discussions, seek feedback from your co-leaders after each meeting. This will help you lead more efficiently. Additionally, consider assigning one or two individuals to pray for and support those who have made prayer requests during the week.
