individual work in ministry, as a deep personal encounter with one soul, aiming at spiritual care and understanding personal needs, rather than relying only on collective work or general preaching.

Biblical and Spiritual Foundation

Individual work is an original divine method, practiced by God from the beginning, clearly manifested in the life of the Lord Christ, who dealt with souls one by one, before and after the crucifixion, as well as in the ministry of the apostles.

Effectiveness of Individual Work

Individual work is more effective and impactful than general speech, because it touches real human problems and provides an opportunity for listening, dialogue, and practical healing of the soul.

Areas of Individual Work

Individual work includes children, youth, the sick, the grieving, the fallen, the backsliders, and those with special problems, whether within the family, the Church, or society, and it requires wisdom and discernment.

Qualities of the Servant

For individual work to succeed, the servant must be characterized by love, humility, patience, and wisdom, avoiding rebuke or superiority, and progressing gradually with the soul according to its spiritual capacity.

Care and Example

Through individual work, the person feels valued and important, as the servant goes to them personally, cares about the details of their life, and becomes a good example in words and conduct.

The True Goal

The goal of individual work is not to attach the person to the servant, but to lead them to Christ, so they may become an image and likeness of God, not a copy of the servant.

Conclusion

Individual work is not formality, but heart, spirit, and care, and it carries great spiritual joy. It is one of the most successful forms of ministry in preserving souls, nurturing growth, and restoring the lost.
