In this chapter, Kreauter makes the distinction between working in ministry and ministering to people. He reminds us that Jesus died for people. It was more than simply paying a debt, it was a personal act of love and sacrifice. So as worship leaders, it is not just our responsibility to witness broadly to groups of people, but it is also our responsibility to pursue individuals and make personal connections and genuinely CARE for them.
I find that leading worship feels more natural to me when I approach it remembering that each person in the student body is their own personal unique self. When I go into chapel actively caring for those around me, i am able to feel the greater purpose of what we do as worship teams. John 13:35 say "By this everyone will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." We aren't just there to play good music, but we are bringing the love of God to the students through our love and care for them.
