When someone is out to get you

If there is a group or person out to get you, keep your supervisor informed, get her/his perspective, try to get to the heart of your antagonist's antipathy.
    1. Can it be ameliorated without sacrificing something core to your being or ministry?
    2. Do they need an apology?
    3. Does the situation require a face to face meeting with the other person, you and your supervisor? (Never alone!)
    4. Can you just wait them out? Enemies usually will die, move or get tired of the project. The problem probably has to do with their children not getting what they wanted. When will these children graduate?
    5. Weigh the value of your ministry there against the aggravation. Actually aggravation shouldn't have anything to do with it – it is matter of what is best for Christ's church.
