An encourager is someone who meets people at their point of need and will do whatever it takes to get them on their feet. Rather that is speaking up for someone who has had a bad past, encouraging the church to have a bold vision or even promoting a colleague with superior abilities above yourself. After all, encouragement cannot thrive where competitiveness and jealousy are nourished. We all must be willing to create a place for those who need second chances and give them the encouragement they need to thrive.
