BELAY Solutions
“If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.” We’ve all fallen victim to that mindset.
Thinking we’re the only ones capable or willing to do the important things and every other thing on the list.
But, that can’t be further from the truth. There are many servant-hearted, qualified people who can help with that list. Because no one can do it all alone– you have a Kingdom to serve.
To get the things done that only you can do, delegation is a must.
BELAY’s modern staffing solutions have been helping busy leaders like you delegate the details for over a decade. With BELAY, you can get intentionally paired with a U.S.-based Virtual Assistant, Accounting Specialist, or a Social Media Manager and level-up your church through the power of delegation.
To help you get started, BELAY is offering a free resource, The Top 25 Tasks a Pastor Can Delegate to an Assistant, that gives you actionable steps to successfully release some of those tasks and thrive.
To claim it, just text CAREY to 55123.
