This word is PROISTEMI in Greek and should be translated "to stand before" or "to lead." The burden of a true leader is not to "run the church," but to assist all the rest in fulfilling their ministry - growing into all that God is calling them to be. You can easily recognize such genuine leaders because they will always be putting the best interest and spiritual progress of the rest ahead of their own. (See Lk 22:25,26.)
Neno hili ni PROISTEMI katika Ugiriki na linafaa kutafsiriwa kumaanisha “kusimama mbele” au “kuongoza.” Mzigo wa kiongozi wa kweli sio katika “ kumiliki kanisa” bali ni kusaidia wengine katika kutimiza huduma zao – wakikua kuwa wale ambao Mungu amewaita wawe. Unaweza kuwatambua kwa urahisi viongozi mahususi kwa vile watazingatia kuhakikisha kukua kiroho na mahitaji ya wengine wameyaweka mbele ya yao.
