9Marks Journal: The Pastor and His Staff (Part 1) (64期：牧者与同工（上）)

Think for a second about how crucial it is for basket-ball team to work together as a team. Who calls the play? Who sets the pick? Who makes the assist? Who takes the shot? Every member must know his part. And every member knows the team’s success depends on rightly playing that part. The same goes for tennis doubles, and army platoons, and political campaigns, and business partners, and on and on we could multiply the examples. Success depends on every part rightly relating to the other parts. The same lesson applies to church staffs. For the sake of the church and the kingdom, we hope to help church leaders take a few moments to think through staff dynamics.

请思考一下，篮球队的共同协作有多么重要。谁叫战术？谁来掩护？谁负责助攻？谁去投篮？每个队员都必须知道自己的职责。每个队员也知晓团队的成功依赖于正确执行自己的职责。

无论是网球双打组合，一个连的军队，政治竞选团队，商业伙伴等等身上都可以看到类似的例子。成功依赖于一个团队各尽其职，互相补足。

对于教会同工而言，这也是同样的道理。为了教会和神的国度，我们盼望帮助教会领袖思考教会同工的关系。我们会花两期内容来探讨牧师和同工的关系。

期刊的开始，，狄马可（Mark Dever）、杰拉米·莱尼（Jeramie Rinne）、Mark Mullery和Vince Hinders帮助主任牧师思考如何管理、服侍和门训同工。接着安迪·约翰逊（Andy Johnson）、Michael Lawrence（迈克尔·劳伦斯）和杰拉米·莱尼给每个同工智慧的建议。

最后，我们会讨论聘请、解雇同工，以及为同工设定薪酬等具体细节。我个人十分推荐每个弟兄所贡献的智慧。阅读了每篇文章后，我也求神使我在智慧中成长。我也祷告你们同样如此。
