How do we stop ourselves becoming or feeling overwhelmed when we help people?
- Boundaries: Set up boundaries around your home and family.
- Accountability: You always need someone to speak into your life and situation.
- Team: Be in team at all times.
- Expectations: It's not our responsibility to heal and set people free. We pray.
'Always pray for breakthrough. Always prepare for the long haul.'
